Cuba for Christ

 


It is that time once again as I travel to Cuba to serve with the sports ministry there.  I ask that you join me in prayer for this ministry as well as for this trip.


1 Corinthians 1:4  NLT  

I always thank my God for you and for the gracious gifts he has given you, now that you belong to Christ Jesus.


Pray for the FCA sports ministry staff in Cuba and their families.  This coming weekend most of these families will meet together for learning, encouragement and to seek the Lord together.  God builds teams so that they can use their gifts and calling to impact their communities and more with the message of Christ.  Jesus built His disciples, and it is a join in a similar way to see God build this team.


Pray for those who are traveling for this particular Cuba FCA sports ministry event.  Two of us from the United States as well as many across Cuba will be traveling to be together, to teach and to plan for even more ministry to athletes and coaches in various sports.  All need to know the goodness of God.


Pray for the country of Cuba.  There are so many economic difficulties that continue.  Food is hard to find and very sparse.  Pray for the FCA to have what their families need.  Pray for those they serve to be given even more food to help them.  Another issue is transportation.  It is very hard to travel.  Pray for safety and wisdom.  Pray for health care needs.  Ask God to bring healing and peace to those in need.  


Pray for those who do not know Jesus to come to know Him.  The Bible tells us that Salvation is free to all who will call on God, but how can they call on God when they do not know Him (Romans 10:14).  That is why this ministry and so many others seek to share the Gospel of Jesus with as many people as possible.


Thank you for your prayers and support for this ministry and my call to serve with the sports ministry team in Cuba.  I am humbled and grateful.  Over the next two weeks there will not be e-devotions, but there will be some of the e-devotion minutes videos on Facebook.  Please check those out on my page.


One of the exciting things about this trip is that Alex who is the director of sports ministry in Cuba will be returning to the United Stats with me to visit our area and others.  Pray for this important trip and for Alex and his family.


Lamentations 2:19  NLT  

Rise during the night and cry out. Pour out your hearts like water to the Lord. Lift up your hands to him in prayer, pleading for your children, for in every street they are faint with hunger.


May we be people of prayer.  Pray for those in need.  Pray for ourselves.  Most of all pray that God will get all the glory.  May the life of Christ become even more real to those we meet including the people of Cuba.

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....
