it is time for a mission trip

Please pray for me and the team I will serve with in Cuba the next 10 days. It is an honor to partner with the Sports ministry in Cuba (FCA or known as MADEM in Cuba). This ministry is making a difference in the lives of people across the country.

How is that? Thanks for asking.

FCA serves athletes and coaches through all kinds of avenues with the intent of sharing the Gospel with each and every person. Along the way the team of FCA staff (more than 10 people) are meeting needs of their neighbors, church members and others. That happens in all kinds of ways, and that keeps me even more excited about this incredible work.

Philippians 2:9-11 NLT

Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Over the next 10 days I will be encouraging the FCA team and their families in a retreat setting, visiting some churches, planning for future ministry and connecting this ministry with more people. Pray for these awesome people, each family and all that they need. Living in Cuba means life can often be difficult with the lack of food, electricity and more.

Pray for traveling safety. Pray for the conversations that we will have. Pray for wisdom over each person. Pray for open doors sharing Jesus.

Thank you to all who have helped make this mission trip, and other trips, possible through giving and praying. There will be very few e-devotions the next two weeks, but I will share via Facebook and after the trip all God has done.

John 15:8 NLT

When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.

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....

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 ...
