ministry in Cuba


Galatians 5:13  NLT

For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.

 

I have been waiting for this day and this trip.  I am on the way or have arrived arrived in Cuba for another mission trip, and I am excited about all God is doing.  It is an honor to be part of the sports ministry in Cuba that works with FCA and .


This ministry is led by Alex Martinez whose wife will have their second child in October.  They are hoping to buy a home soon, and our FCA leaders are helping to make that happen.  Pray for wisdom and for God to provide.


This coming week there will be a group of 15 plus people meeting in Cuba to help take further steps to help athletes and coaches know Christ.  Pray for the connections and the resources needed to make this ministry successful across Cuba.

 

Please pray for a couple things today specially…

 

Pray for safe travels and all the details to come together.  Our desire is to be a blessing to those we come in contact with and to have conversations about what really matters.  That would be Jesus.


Pray for the ministry in Cuba that our group is committed to assist with.  There are several staff members working tirelessly to serve in many different sports and in various areas of the country.  Pray for open hearts and opportunities.

 

Pray for our families while we are away.  Pray for their protection and peace.  We love to serve on these mission trips but being away them can get long and tough.

 

Updates and e-devotions as well as e-devotion minutes will come out a few times.  Watch for these updates each day but remember we do not have cell phone service and very, very limited internet access.

 

Thank you for your prayers.  I cannot wait to share with you what God does!  May we be His witnesses wherever we go…


Acts 1:8 NLT  

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

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....
