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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
