Prayer Letter - December 2015

Missionaries to Italy
December 2015



Dear Pastors, Churches, and Friends,

December was a great month for us and I am pleased as to how it turned out for meetings. I have some amazing deputation stories I wish to share with you. I can see God working on our deputation thanks to you praying for us!

The first week of December I caught the sickness which was going around...except it didn’t go away. After the cold ran it’s course, my throat was still sore and I could barely talk. I presented the ministry to Italy at a church with the sore throat and with the microphone I made it through no problem. However...The NEXT day...I couldn’t talk! My voice was literally gone. This made it impossible to call churches for more meetings. During the next 3 days which I could not speak...I had 2 pastors CALL ME and give me a spot in their mission’s conferences!

EX 4:12: “...and I will be with thy mouth…” God accomplished his will despite Moses’ speaking problem and I am happy to tell you HE stills helps even when you can’t speak!

I want to also thank you for your prayers for our meetings...because we have been booking meetings into 2017. I believe 2016 is going to be a good year for us. We have many meetings in many different areas and I am thankful for the meetings. We have had churches take us on for support and I believe some people have really started to have their own burdens for the people in Italy. I can see it on their faces when I am presenting the ministry —all of a sudden they get this look as if they have connected two pieces of a puzzle together. THEY, the supporting church members, are the connection for people in Italy to hear the Gospel.

Thank you again for your continued support of prayer and financial sacrifice to send the Gospel to the lost in Italy.


In Christ,



Bro. Harrison Haynes
Your Missionary in Italy

Senses Secured

RISE AND SHINE FOR JESUS! By Pam Iannello (my late mother) "Senses Secured" Proverbs 7:1-5 (KJV) My son, keep my words , and lay up my commandments with thee. [2] Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye . [3] Bind them upon thy fingers , write them upon the table of thine heart . [4] Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman : [5] That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words . As I studied this portion of scripture I was heavily struck with the importance of having our senses saturated with the Word of God. You see, sexual sin often begins with unguarded eyes, hands, and hearts… And knowing that the rest of this chapter vividly deals with the unhealthy situation that occurred between a simple young man and a strange woman, it is no wonder that the Lord opens the story with strong scriptural advice! Truly, it is a perfect text to teach young ...

One Day At A Time

I wanted to send you this poem today, and I remember it sitting on my mother's desk for many years before she died. She was always encouraged by this poem and I hope you will be encouraged with its truths along with me... "One Day at a Time" One day at a time, with its failures and fears, With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears, With its portion of pain and its burden of care; One day at a time we must meet and must bear. One day at a time to be patient and strong, To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong; Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease; It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace. One day at a time - but the day is so long, And the heart is not brave, and soul is not strong, O Thou pitiful Christ, be Thou near all the way; Give courage and patience and strength  for the day. Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet; "Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to m...

Haynes Family Prayer Letter - October 2018

October 2018 Dear Supporting Churches and Friends, Got some good news to report in from this past month.  First, I will tell you about a great project which Justine is doing  for two orphanages in Rome. A while back, somebody gifted Justine about 100 skeins of yarn (that’s one of those yarn thingies for all you guys out there).  Justine was praying about using the yarn to make something on a large scale for a group of people, but also using it to get the Gospel of our Lord Jesus to that specific group .  One of Justine’s heroes is Dorcas because she made garments for the poor as her ministry, which ultimately brought Glory to God when Peter raised her from the dead in Acts 9.  Justine got in touch with an orphanage in Rome which currently has 80 kids living there. Justine explained everything to the director and they were THRILLED about handmade scarves and gave us the “green light” to send everything.  T...
