CUBA COMMITMENT

The last two weeks have been flooded with reports of more Churches being fined for their efforts taken against the Cuban trade embargo.  Most are facing prosecution for not following the trade embargoes rules in reference to travel to Cuba from the U.S.   We have obtained our permit and plan to make trips this year for some much needed gathering of information.  Please pray for those plans specifically.  There has risen a possible opportunity to purchase more containers for less money than first planned.  After some investigation we have found that there might be restrictions on the size of containers allowed.  There is more than one port in Cuba, but the one we will investigate most and request prayer for is the “H” port.  I cannot give out the exact name in case e-mails are monitored.  If you would please pray for our investigations and that God would guide us to the right people to talk to.  This trip will be done within this month.  The information gathering will cover three provinces and the islands of Cuba.  Many works have been started on land since communism began as a governing party.  The islands are unknown to evangelicals though.  It would be helpful to know specifics of why, or if this is true at all.  This trip is planned for September. 

Pray for us as we plan to search out all options in supplying the Cubans with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Please remember this, the Gospel is not ours but HIS and we are stewards of it.  Let us not become stingy or unwilling to share which is not ours in the first place.  Paul mentioned many times in Romans, “my Gospel”.  Have you adopted it that dearly yet?  As soon as we do, our message will be stronger and louder.  Romans 1:15 – “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.”

We have a vision to be ready, so we can say “…to you that are at Cuba also, AMEN!”  Share this vision with us and pray.
