Haynes Family Prayer Letter - July 2017

Dear Churches and Friends,
July was a tough month physically, yet a productive month spiritually!  For those who don’t know, Justine had to go to the hospital this month due to a severe allergic reaction to a spider bite.  She is recovering, but it did a lot of damage and will take some time to fully recuperate - we covet your prayers for physical healing!
I enjoy witnessing wherever I’m staying, and NY possesses a wonderful open door of conversation due to the “so buddy,  where you from with that accent?”  I ask you to please be in prayer about the salvation of Fran...a nice elderly lady who is a neighbor.  She came outside and spoke with Justine and the kids and told them that her husband died almost a month ago and she was having a hard time . The children made her cards and Justine made her some pumpkin bread and we included the gospel in with our gift to her. Miss Fran was very happy with her gift and we pray for more opportunities to speak with her while we are here.
You do have a new Sister in Christ as of July 13th:  my third child Claire accepted Jesus as her personal Saviour this month!  3 down and 2 to go in the Haynes family!  
A great story:  The Lord allowed us be in contact with a saved man from NYC named Barry.  Barry is also Sicilian and saw one of the “Saved Sicilian” T-shirts that my wife designed.  He wanted some to wear in New York City as a witnessing tool. So we put together a “witnessing care package” for him and we mailed them to him this last week.  Please pray for Barry because he has a true burden to witness to fellow Italian Americans and everybody--he needs intercessory prayer because the devil is not happy about a man who loves to tell others about Jesus!
This letter is shorter than normal, but praise God we have been faithful, been preaching, and been soul-winning.  We truly need and appreciate your prayers!
God Bless,
Bro. Harrison Haynes and Family

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...
