why Cuba? and pray


Why Cuba?


In just a few days I get to return to Cuba after 29 months away.  It is an honor to serve the Lord with a group of people that love others, serve with all their heart and have a passion to see lives change.


I ask that you pray for the work in Cuba and for this trip.  Let me know if you would like to help further.  Donations of medicines and hygiene products as well as money are needed with the trip.  


Much of this work is with a team that serves athletes and coaches and is connected to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes or FCA.  Alex and his team continue to serve, to share the Gospel and meet so many needs.  In Covid has allowed doors to be open for the meeting of back needs such as food, clothing, medicine and so much more.


Our team of people here in the United States has had great opportunity to find new ways to help our team in Cuba, and that has become a great blessing.  It is still a challenge, but it is happening.


For this trip I will be taking supplies, working on logistics for future ministry, preparing for more mission teams to travel and serve as well as encouraging the FCA staff in leadership training.


So, why Cuba?  I see God working there.  Why Cuba?  These people are incredible and love with big hearts and open eyes.  Why Cuba?  The needs are great and the opportunity is there.  Why Cuba?  The best reason is because this is a door God open and continues to keep my heart there.


So will you pray?  Will you consider serving with us in Cuba in the future?


Yesterday I shared the following verses at church, and it says well what God is expecting from you and me!


Matthew 9:37-38  NLT  

He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
