Raine Family Greetings

Blessings from the Raine family!! We hope you enjoy our picture this year, we always have fun making them, but it is always a challenge also to get everyone in the same direction! We have had an exciting year, with a move to a larger farm in Mt Pleasant. The Lord has blessed us with our heart’s desire and we are extremely grateful. The children are growing both in wisdom and stature, and most of all in their walk with the Lord. Still having lots of prophetic dreams and seeing lots of miracles. Since it might take you awhile to pick everyone out I’ll help. In the back from left to right, Georgia (nearly 13), April (nearly 16 whew!), Beau 14, front row, Moriah (just about 8) Penny (AKA Momma) with 2 yr old Mercy in my lap, Jim (AKA Jumpin Jim) Hannah (nearly 10, oh my!) and cowboy Jacob in front, he just turned 5. No more on the way yet but we would gladly welcome more, it is such an honor to raise children for Jesus, and they are a joy to be around. We have been in TN for over 11 years now, and love it. The children are really growing in the gifts the Lord has blessed them with. April is leading worship at the midweek service at our local church and sometimes she even surprises us with her holy boldness. She also has her own online business (sewing little girls clothing) that keeps her in guitars. She is a very Godly young woman. Beau is part of the worship team also, April is putting to work the leadership skills the Lord has been teaching her for years. Beau desires 3 things in life, to worship the Lord, play the drums for Jesus and ride his horse FAST. He also writes. He has grown into a very Godly young man with lots of wit! Georgia plays the piano and is a hero to Mercy. They both get prettier every day. Hannah is my shadow and a great help in whatever I am working at. ( Currently stuffing these envelopes.) She is definitely domestic and at every church function will be found in the kitchen doing dishes without anyone asking her to. Moriah loves reading, wildflowers, and is just plain sweet! She is a great helper too. Jacob, well now Jacob, he is always something new and surprising! Never a dull moment around Jacob. Mercy is so much love wrapped up in a little girl! She kisses me at least a hundred times a day! And even at 2 is quite a prayer warrior. Jim is still spending hours a day in prayer and preaching 2-5 times every week. He has well earned his reputation as Jumpin Jim. I am busy writing, being a momma, and ministering to other mommas. It is the Love of Jesus that sustains us. We have been full-time ministry for nearly 8 years and the Lord has blessed us, we are humbled. The children are all doing great in school and ministry training. It is wonderful to have our own family worship team when we minister at outside events, an answer to prayer. We have been blessed to work with a lot of different ministries and church families here in TN and each one has touched us and contributed to what the Lord is now using us for, thanks to all of you, we love you!! It is our prayer that each and every one of you experiences more of the Lord and His overwhelming love this coming year, love to all,

the Raine Tribe,
