Cuba this week


 

Romans 1:10  NLT 

One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you.


Paul spoke or wrote those words to a group of people who had his heart.  He loved them and was willing to use his life and talent to help them grow in family and make them more effective for the Gospel.  That is an awesome example.


Today I am on my way back to Cuba and will be serving with MADEM / FCA sports ministry.  This will be seventh trip and first trip of 2023.  This week I will speak in several churches, meet with ministry leaders, plan a retreat for the sports ministry staff and families that will take place in May and continue to support the awesome team working in this ministry every day.


I ask for your prayers.  Pray for Alex and his team.  Pray for opportunities to work with athletes and coaches.  Pray for the resources needed for this ministry.  Praise God for what has already happened.  Pray for what is coming in the future.


Watch over the next 8 days for updates that I will share from Cuba.  Most of those will be via FaceBook posts or the e-devotion minute videos on FaceBook.  


Thank you for understanding.  There will not be e-devotions this week, but they will resume one week from tomorrow.


You know my heart.  I love our church family, The Community Fellowship, that allows me to serve in Henry County, Virginia as well as across the country of Cuba.  I am praying for lives to be changed, and I am excited to share their stories with you.


Have a great week and thank you for your prayers!


2 Corinthians 1:11  NLT  

And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.

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....
