Haynes Family Prayer Letter - June/July 2016

Haynes to Italy
June/July 2016



Dear Supporting Churches, Pastors, and Friends,

First and foremost, I want to greatly thank you for your constant prayers and financial support of God's need for the lost souls in Italy to hear the Gospel! Deputation is a blessing because it connects a Missionary with Mission-minded, Bible believing churches all over the USA...churches which have a grave and sober understanding about the commandment of the Lord in Matt 28:19, "Go ye therefore...". Our Lord and King Jesus Christ means enough to you, personally, that you are sacrificing and sending missionaries to countries like Italy---where 1,500 years ago the Roman government was doing everything in their power to kill our forefathers of the Faith! I Thess 1:8b "...but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad..."

Sweat poured from his face and blood dripped off his right hand as his left hand continued to clutch the tire iron. I could tell this guy had been fighting for a long time with a friend turned enemy due to the impact marks left by the tire iron. This exhausted guy engaged the most stubborn of all things forged from steel...a lug nut. I want to thank my pastor friend who supplied a tool in answered prayer for traveling on the road. You see, I understand what it is like to have a flat tire and need some help! I am able to give the Gospel to people who are in need of help with flat tires now and each one receives the Gospel with the knowledge that I helped them out of a tight spot for free—and Jesus Christ will help them out of an eternal tight spot for free! One guy I stopped to help was actually a pastor of 52+ years!! --I told him I was a missionary to Italy and he told me he and the rest of the churches he knew would be praying for us—Amen!!

My wife has also been able to get the Gospel to people in Sweden...please pray for Nikar, an open minded, college student who is on a quest to find out what life is about. She was also able to share the Gospel with some lost family this month as well!

June was a big mile marker for us, as we have now been in well over 50 churches since January and we had another church take us on for support this month which was encouraging to our hearts to keep pressing on.

In closing, June and July were very busy for us with full schedules: 16 churches and 2 mission's conferences. We are still at about 10% support, however I am very optimistic about being around 30% or so around August....at least that is what I am praying about, if all the last month's promised support comes in. Please pray for us because I can tell the enemy is not happy with the forward movement we are making (all Glory to Jesus Christ) even though it might not be very large all the time...it's still forward! From my presentation, you know God has opened a great door for us, and I would like to ask you to please pray for us and the efforts in getting to Italy. Italy has a great need, and I am sure glad I have you as a church praying for us and supporting the work of the Lord in Italy.

Thank you for your "work of faith, and labour of love," I Thess 1:3.


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...
