CUBA COMMITMENT

This is a very special week for me personally. Lanee’ (my wife) and I will be having our second baby tomorrow – the Lord willing. I have been so encouraged this last week for ministry in Cuba. We had a guest Pastor to preach our final week of Missions conference month here at Metropolitan. In his sermon he mentioned Moses and his call from God to do great things. The relation was given to our mission emphasis on “closed countries” and other major outreach we have. As I read the text a verse came to mind; “And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?” Exodus 3:11 This challenged me to think of the many prayer requests that have been made, the many men that would like to go, and the countless efforts that have already been made for Cuban people.

What an exciting ministry to be in. But please understand that this ministry is not for the faint of heart, it is for the man or women that God has called to endure many things so that these people will hear the gospel and be trained. I believe that we should question our motives and ask the same question…“Who am I that I should come before your throne and seek your face for these people?” Because we are called to go – go on our knees!

Please pray for laborers to be called out here in the US to go; and for laborers to be called in Cuba. Pray that they will be able to be trained effectively and that we will have opportunity to encourage them in any way. Finally pray that God will show you what you are to do specifically for HIM in Cuba.

In HIS Service,
