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.

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
