Psalm 2:8 NLT
Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession.
It is time. This week I get to go back to Cuba to serve on another mission trip.
All this began in February of 2019 and continues through this time. Over these six years I have been to Cuba 18 times with hundreds of others. All for one purpose, and that is to share Jesus with others and support the ministry of MADEM sports ministry in Cuba.
What an honor to be part of a team making such a difference, but this trip is a different. Cuba is in crisis and has been for a long time. Each day things get worse and more needs arise.
That is why I am letting you know there will not be more e-devotions this coming week, and I ask you to join in praying for Cuba and the sports ministry. Here are some ways to pray.
First, pray for the country of Cuba, it’s leaders and the need for support and freedom. The lack of electricity and fuel make each day so hard. Food continues to be sparse. Prices of simple items have sky rocketed. Pray for needs to be met and for change to happen.
Second, pray for the people of Cuba and especially the church. Pray for physical health and wellness. Many have battled sickness. Pray for families to continue to be close and to have what they need for themselves and their homes.
Fourth, pray for those who are not christians. There are so many believers who are serving and sharing their faith. Yet there are so many more who need to come to know Jesus. Pray for salvation.
I will stop with this one (although there are many more). Fifth, pray for the sports ministry that seeks to share Christ with athletes and coaches as well to meet needs and even start churches. This sports ministry has done incredible work through the great leaders who are involved. Yet the lack of resources and the ability to travel make things incredibly difficult.
Thank you for your support and prayers. May God do the amazing and impossible things that literally help people every day and that makes heaven more crowded for eternity!
Matthew 9:36-38 NLT
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 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.”
