Updates

 

Our meeting this week was very profitable!  God blessed us with wisdom beyond us and we were able to network many critical details not known before.  I am thrilled to inform you God is working mightily in Cuba!  We have positive reports of many opportunities we can step into and you the supporter/prayer warrior as well.  There are open opportunities to more printing on the island. 

There are opportunities for more trips this next year from many more men than we have been helping/using.  God has impressed on our hearts to step out again by faith for HIM…we not only desire your prayers…they are critically vital at this point.  So many things have transpired because of this meeting that I cannot release by email or postal delivery.   If you wish to hear it for yourself, call my cell below. If you wish your Church to hear this, then please do not hesitate to ask myself, or some of the other missionaries to come and present what God has done your Church, it would be our privilege.  Many more things to come, no need to flood your hearts now.  The letter we mailed should have already made it to you and a DVD will be following close behind, if you have not received either, please email or call me.

Information

 

We have sent off our last container to Latin America for the preparation portion of our Commitment.  This container was loaded in the freezing rain, by a crane, in the worst possible conditions.  That evening we met together as a Church with visiting Missionaries and Pastors and prayed a prayer of blessing over it.  Would you pray for this container?  There is a detailed prayer list below in the Intercession section. 

There is video footage from the loading and prayer on our website as well.  You can access it by following the link titled "Recent video footage" under Subject Links. 

I also went to Washington DC this week to meet with the Bureau of Industry and Security and finalize our paperwork and prayerfully gain written conclusions to our shipments.  This seemed at first to not be successful, yet I see where God is leading us.  The contents of the containers are under no sanction since it is all religious literature, the container itself is not religious literature, and since we own it, we have to file for exemptions or licenses.  This is going to be a simple process and therefore a big answer to prayer.  I have been "sweating over" this answer for some time now and looking over piles of paperwork and literally hundreds of phone calls to find this answer…Praise God!  Please pray as I will not hesitate to complete this necessary step. 

Intercession

We ask that you pray for the container going to Panama.

·         Pray God will blind the eyes of the officials.

·         Pray God will open doors for shipment into Cuba, soon.

·         Pray for our missionary in Panama that he and his men will be used of God for their helping us with this project.

·         Pray for the costs to be low in shipment.

Thank you again for your dedicated intercession and financial support.  You have made the difference and been such an encouragement to our Commitment.

 

 In HIS Service,

Travis A. Jones
