CUBA COMMITMENT

Praise the Lord for the laborers He has called to help in this endeavor. Many people have committed to helping us. One such Church is Marion Baptist Church, they are printing response cards. Another is Galilean Baptist Church in Houma, LA. They are also printing for Cuba. Our thankfulness in prayers seems to be a lost thought today though. Please remember to thank the Lord for these that are working so hard for souls they do not know. Warren Wiersby illustrated this problem of thankfulness in his commentary on Colossians. He told about a ministerial student in Evanston, Illinois, who was part of a life-saving squad. In 1860, a ship went aground on the shore of Lake Michigan near Evanston, and Edward Spencer waded again and again into the frigid waters to rescue 17 passengers. In the process, his health was permanently damaged. Some years later at his funeral, it was noted that not one of the people he rescued ever thanked him. Let us remember the whole point to our commitment is because of a Savior. Without this knowledge our efforts would be futile and obsolete. Without His saving and without His commission we would be just like those Cubans wondering if there is something bigger than myself that cares about me. We have been in contact with Cuban men here in the states for a while. Brother Bruce Martin our missionary has been growing a relationship with these men to see what the Lord may have for our paths together. Please pray that the Lord will give Brother Bruce wisdom and lead us to the right men to work with. And remember –Thank the Lord!

Thank you for praying.

In HIS Service,
