Dear Friends of Cuba,
God is great and we have seen many dreams come true in regards to Cuba, since last summer.
In October 2009, God provided a way for our pastor friends, Pedro and Mercedes, to visit as they helped their daughter Annia, and grandchildren, Kevin and Kent, on their trip to immigrate and live with in-laws, in Naples. They visited and spoke to us at FBCWPB, in November 2009.
We were able to travel to Cuba on mission in November. Adel, Annia's husband, was granted permission to immigrate to Naples, in December.
God provided a way for us to go to Cuba again in April 2010. During this trip, God gave us opportunities to meet and partner with new areas on the island .
In June, we were so thankful to have Davicito, from Cienfuegos, with us for a visit. He and his 82 year old mom returned to the island a few weeks ago. We also thank God for the arrival of Zuley. She has come to join her husband, Yuyo, and live here in the USA!
Thanks so much for your prayers and support while Rene has been with us! He arrived safely and has been running ever since. We were able to spend time with him last week at the beach. He is amazed at the kindness from everyone.
On Sunday, he and his brother-in-law, Adel, visited many Bible Study Classes and took a tour of our church. They spoke in the Spanish Bible Study class. As we walked around on Sunday, both of them were able to meet many deacons and others who have been praying for Cuba.
Rene shared that the 'time is now', while the doors are still open,'for mission trips' to Cuba. Please continue to pray for God's guidance as several are trying to decide whether to go with us in November, on mission to Cuba.
We are very close to launching our new web page for Cuba for Christ Ministries! Thanks for your prayers. Jay has been dilgently tweaking and improving the site. Watch for more information soon.
We are living in exciting times. Please continue to pray with us as we prepare for the November 6-13 Mission Trip to Cuba. We can't wait to see what God is going to do.
