why Cuba?

 


Why Cuba?

 

In just a few days I get to return to Cuba!  It is an honor to serve the Lord with a group of people that love others, serve with all their heart and have a passion to see lives change.

 

I ask that you pray for the sports ministry work in Cuba and for this trip.  Let me know if you would like to help further.  Donations are appreciated, but the biggest need is for prayer.  

 

Much of this work is with a team that serves athletes and coaches and is connected to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes or FCA.  Alex and his team continue to serve, to share the Gospel and meet so many needs. 

 

Our team of people here in the United States has had great opportunity to find ways to help the team in Cuba, and that has become a great blessing.  It is a challenge.  The economy in Cuba is not good.  It is difficult for the Cuban people to find even the basic things needed for every day life.  But God is doing incredible things to meet needs and to change lives.

 

This trip will have myself and Alex serving with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba the first week, and the second week we will be working on logistics for more ministry as well as assisting with a pickle ball sports camp.  Once again I am able to take some supplies, work on future ministry trips, preparing for more mission teams and to encouraging the sports ministry staff.

 

So, why Cuba?  I see God working there.  Why Cuba?  These people are incredible and love with big hearts and open eyes.  Why Cuba?  The needs are great and opportunity is there.  Why Cuba?  The best reason is because this is a door God open and continues to keep my heart there.

 

So will you pray?  Will you consider serving with us in Cuba in the future?

 

Pray!  Join me!  Watch to see what God is doing and join Him!

 

Matthew 9:37-38  NLT  

He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
