CUBA COMMITMENT

To continue our thoughts last week and in conclusion; there is a since of Glory in confronting Governments such as Cuba in defiance of their stands against Christianity.  The adventurous thought of smuggling and fear of confiscation makes Christians feel excited and as if they are really doing something for God.  Risk taking does give a thrill, but when your goal is the salvation of souls then it takes real work.  It may take some espionage to do a lot of work in the countries we are speaking of, but what is the focus and goal of our mission?  The answer is found in the heart of the Missionary or Pastor.  The answer has to be investigated by the intentions of the individual.  Are you doing these activities for adventure or for souls?  Balance dictates to us that we need to get the Gospel in but we must also obey our laws.  I believe that we need get our thoughts and prayers onto God opening the doors of this country to the Gospel.  Meanwhile we must make every effort to take a stand and contend for souls waiting to hear the Gospel.  We are preparing for that day and in small amounts helping the men working now.  We are in desperate need of men and women to pray that God will open miraculous doors for these containers.  We are also in need of a few more surveys to know if there are ports we can enter and what it will take to do so.  This “issues” are important because we do not face them everyday.  We are starting in the 21 ^st century to work in areas and countries we have not had experience in.  Let us pray for wisdom and direction.  Our best laid plans are not efficient to what God can do.  Please pray for us as we are praying for you.
