on the way to Cuba

 


I am excited.  The next 12 days i will be in Cuba, and it is the 4th time I have had the honor of being in the country this year.


These days will be full of encouraging those who are part of the sports ministry there.  Please join me in praying not specifically for the trip, but pray for this incredible, God-honoring ministry that is making a difference in the lives of so many people.


1 Corinthians 9:22-23  NIV  

To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.


I am not the Apostle Paul, but it is obvious that I have a calling from God that I am excited to fulfill.  In fact it is an honor to serve others who are searching for Jesus.  God uses people like you and me to help others meet His son all the while changing their lives.


Pray for those who need Jesus.


Pray for leaders of the sports ministry.


Pray for the churches that support the sports ministry.


Pray for the athletes and their families.


Pray for those who support, give, encourage and love this ministry and it’s workers.


I am excited about what is ahead, but I am nervous.  It will be a great trip, and I am expecting God to show up.  I pray that God uses the time to help this ministry get stronger and to do more.


There will not be e-devotions for the next two weeks.  The next one of the email e-devotions will be on Monday, December 18th.  I will be sharing on facebook some e-devotion minutes on evenings when I have internet.


Thank you for your support and prayers!  I cannot wait to share more with and all God has done.

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....
