Haynes Family Prayer Letter - August 2016

*​The Haynes Family to Italy*

August 2016

Dear Supporting Churches, Pastors, and Friends,

     Sitting across a table with only a KJV Bible between me and a teenager

who has just heard a spiritual bell toll:  knowing the penalty for sin,

Lance sadly decided to wait until another day to receive Jesus Christ as

his Lord.  I don't know if I'll ever physically meet this young man Lance

again, however, he will eternally remember me if he goes to hell.  Please

pray for the Lord to keep convicting his soul until he accepts Jesus.

     *Almost 50 people accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and

Saviour* during the week of the Appalachian State Fair!  *Did you hear

that? ...50!*  The Lord worked it out that while I was up in the Tri-Cities

area of TN, that Amazing Grace Missions was working a booth at the fair and

I had the privilege to be able to help. I am also happy about the

"blueprint" I got that I will apply to our ministry in Italy!  You see...in

the law enforcement world, we called it a "dry run" which basically means a

practice round.  A trial or test run before the real thing.  I plan to use

this style of public outreach on the mission field and the open markets of

Italy.  So I am thrilled to put the final pieces of this public evangelism

together...another heavenly crown producing machine for your church!

     We have had 3 more churches start supporting the ministry in Italy

during the month of August, which was such a blessing to us. We also are

praying for all the people involved in the earthquake, that the Lord will

get them the Gospel and that the Lord will use this to show all the

churches here in America the vast need in Italy. There is a startling fact

that over 70% of Italy's 8,101 hilltop villages have Zero Bible presence.

---*I'm talking a total vacuum*—completely untouched, wide-open

fields---it's like driving a combine to a field to harvest crops!!  There

is heavenly fruit for the taking, don't miss out! Please pray that the Lord

gets us to this over-ripe field soon so that we can get this country the

truth it needs.

     August 2016 marks our 1 year on deputation and as we look back over

the year, we are so thankful and amazed as to how God got our family of 7

through it all! There were several times that things looked very bleak, but

God in His mercy saw us through something that on paper looked impossible

to accomplish! But that's our God! The God of the impossible – and we are blessed to serve Him!  

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers as we have a packed schedule for the rest of 2016.  I would like to ask prayer for a 15 passenger van, now that we have seen what works and what doesn’t work well with traveling—I believe a 15 passenger van will accommodate our needs better for 2017, thanks for praying!

In Christ,

Bro. Harrison Haynes

Your Missionary to Italy
