Opportunity to Be a Blessing: Prison Ministry



We have a few days remaining before Christmas, but I wanted to give all who may be interested an opportunity to be a blessing to the prisoners for Christmas.

My wife and I are going to do something small, but special, to remind all the prisoners (both believers and non-believers) of the free gift that Jesus offers. We will purchase 300 sodas and bubble gum. That’s about $120. These are simple items that prisoners may never taste while incarcerated. (Remember that the prison gives the prisoners beans and cema twice a day, every day).

If you’d like to help out, this is what you can do by this Thursday, Dec 22.  Send your donation to our home church. Then, after you send in your donation, immediately send us an email to let us know how much you contributed. Donations can be sent to:

Church of the Living God
199 Deming Street
Manchester CT 06042

Please include “Haynes Family” in the memo to direct the donations to us.

You can also donate online at: http://www.clgonline.net/missions/missionaries.aspx
On the web page, click on the link by our photo and follow the directions.

Early Friday morning, I will be going out to purchase the items for the prison. This year the prison will be holding a special event on Friday to celebrate Christmas.

We’re also going to buy some special food for the group of believers that I meet with every Tuesday.

Please pray that God would use the believers in the prison to be a light, and give them opportunities to share the gospel in love and power this Christmas. Thank you for praying with us and being a blessing.

Blessings and love. Cheerfully,
Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
