December 2016

Dear Supporting Churches, Pastors, and Friends,

First, I want to start off by saying "Thank You" for the Christmas cards, extra love offerings, and thoughts with prayers. Your kindness to us was much appreciated as we continued to present God's need in Italy to churches in TN during the month of December. It is a blessing to see how our Lord works in people's lives even during holiday times of the year...sometimes people you don't think are "open" to hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ surprise you and listen to your "reason of the hope that is in you..." (I Pet 3:15)
This is slightly shorter than my normal prayer letters—not due to lack of content because we have had a GREAT year spiritually speaking! Leading people to Jesus Christ and seeing them repent and accept Jesus for salvation, preaching to people and watching conviction work, and the ever planting of seeds which need precious time to grow within their hearts. We are thankful that everywhere we have travelled across the United States this last year, God's Word has been shared – even on our car! Praise the Lord for that! God has provided each and every step of the way and come through like the Champion He is with answered prayer. Physically, deputation has been tough on all of us this year...I believe the family takes the hardest hits on deputation, so please continue to hold our family up in your prayers for grace and strength.
God has been so good to us this past year. We had 2 more churches start supporting us this month and we are currently at 15% total support.   I am looking forward to 2017 because each month is a step closer to taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost in Italy--I'm happy about that! 2017 will start with meetings in AL and FL.
Some prayer needs we have right now, is for churches where we presented the work this last year, to support our ministry to Italy. Also, guidance for better vehicle accommodations, Filling in small gaps in the schedule for 2017, and to continue to stay healthy for deputation.
Thank you very much for your continued prayer, support, and kindness to us.

In Christ,
Bro. Harrison Haynes and Family
Your Missionary to 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...
