Cuba this week


 

Romans 1:10  NLT 

One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you.


Paul spoke or wrote those words to a group of people who had his heart.  He loved them and was willing to use his life and talent to help them grow in family and make them more effective for the Gospel.  That is an awesome example.


Today I am on my way back to Cuba and will be serving with MADEM / FCA sports ministry.  This will be seventh trip and first trip of 2023.  This week I will speak in several churches, meet with ministry leaders, plan a retreat for the sports ministry staff and families that will take place in May and continue to support the awesome team working in this ministry every day.


I ask for your prayers.  Pray for Alex and his team.  Pray for opportunities to work with athletes and coaches.  Pray for the resources needed for this ministry.  Praise God for what has already happened.  Pray for what is coming in the future.


Watch over the next 8 days for updates that I will share from Cuba.  Most of those will be via FaceBook posts or the e-devotion minute videos on FaceBook.  


Thank you for understanding.  There will not be e-devotions this week, but they will resume one week from tomorrow.


You know my heart.  I love our church family, The Community Fellowship, that allows me to serve in Henry County, Virginia as well as across the country of Cuba.  I am praying for lives to be changed, and I am excited to share their stories with you.


Have a great week and thank you for your prayers!


2 Corinthians 1:11  NLT  

And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.

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...
