Haynes Family Prayer Letter - September 2017

SEPTEMBER 2017


Dear Supporting Churches,

Oh so much has gone on over the past month!  We, as always, appreciate your prayers for our family while on deputation!  Along with some other missionaries, we had a mission’s conference get canceled near Houston, TX due to damage from the hurricanes--not much you can do about the weather.  Yet at the same time we have some really good Gospel news.  Justine and I are always trying to find effective ways of getting the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the lost in Italy.  Chick Tracts are a very effective tract for Italians so we developed a way to get the Gospel to Italians, even while on the road.  I simply took some pictures of the Italian tracts I use on my deputation display table, Justine turned it into a video and timed it all to hymns as background music.  We uploaded 2 tracts to the internet and then advertised it in ELEVEN major high internet traffic cities in Italy (including Sicily and Sardinia).   I pray this will be an effective tool of sowing the seed in Italy BEFORE we even get to the field so the Word of God will take root in Italian hearts.  We are looking forward to the results of this outreach because Justine personally had a chance to share the gospel with a Sicilian online, gave him the link to the tract...after reading/watching it he replied with great thanks  for sending him the Gospel.  Please pray for this guy, his name is Sal and he is in Sicily.
Another good thing I wish to tell you is we gave a “Saved Italian American...ask me how” T-shirt  that we designed, to a brother.  He wore the T-shirt to dinner one night and a person asked him about the T-shirt and he was able to share the Gospel to the cashier the very night he received the shirt and excitedly reported to us that “the shirt works!” Only one part of the work of the ministry is sowing seed and it seems God has given us open doors with sowing seed….even while on deputation.  “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”  1 Corin. 4:2
Justine’s health is better this month...we appreciate your continued prayers for healing!  The kids are well and homeschooling is going well at the moment.  Please continue to pray for us with upcoming travel, continued health for the road, and support continued to be raised for the ministry work in Italy.



Sincerely in Christ,

Bro. Harrison Haynes and Family
Your Missionaries 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...
