This Week: Missions House in Tri-Cities, TN

,

This week we were in Kingsport, TN for a missions conference and the nearby area for some more meetings. The church in Kingsport had a beautiful missions HOUSE for us to stay in! We enjoyed the week in a 3 bedroom, fully furnished home - complete with bunkbeds! The children had a wonderful time and the Lord was so kind and gracious in meeting many needs through this church! Praise the Lord for faithful saints :) Below is a quick peek into our week here...




Claudia enjoyed hiding under the beds at the missions house. Who needs toys?!
Harrison bought me some olives when he went to the grocery store! Sweet surprise! Some girls need diamonds to feel loved; all I need are Sicilian olives ;)


As an outing, the church in Kingsport took us to nearby Bay's Mountain - which has a Nature Reserve and dam. This is looking over the top of the dam down the falls.

Little Clint is 6 months old now and he loved being outside on such a pretty day!

Claire and Claudia enjoyed the week here too. Clarke and Chloe make friends everywhere they go which helps take the edge off for them with moving around so much. 
We will be heading to North Carolina this week, so please keep us in your prayers! My husband has also had quite a few chances to share the gospel this week, so please keep the hearts of those witnessed to in prayer. Our meetings are going well and we just keep praying for grace every day. God is faithful and merciful!

One verse that has been an encouragement to me on deputation is Isaiah 40:11,
 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

Praise the Lord!

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

Image
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...
