May God bless you and your family,
dear friends in Christ, our God and Sovereign Lord over the entire world. On February I had the opportunity to visit
Cuba, and preach in two youth camps here in Peru.
Preaching
to young people was very important because I have the burden to promote and
encourage people for ministry. I was
preaching in a youth camp in Trujillo and other in Lima. Praise the Lord there were decisions for
salvation and consecration. I want to emphasize that in Lima 12 young people
made decision to serve God in the ministry.
Preaching
in a youth camp in Trujillo
enjoyed
preaching & teaching to young people at that camp.
Counseling to those who ansewered to the call to serve the Lord in full
time ministry.
My trip to Cuba was a tremendous impact in my service to God on last
month. I went to
Cuba to know how Cuban pastors and missionaries live and work. I also brought love offerings for pastors and
missionaries there. Praise the Lord all
my goals were met in satisfactory way.
During
my trip i had the privilege to talk with more than 25 pastors and missionaries.
I visited 18 Baptist churches, and 15
towns in La Habana, Guines and Artemisa.
I traveled to those towns by motorcycle.
I had that motorcycle to my disposition thanks to the Evangelist
Martin. Martin drove his motorcycle and
was my guide during all my time in Cuba (February 2-8). Martin was a great blessing to me.
Martín and me
I could give personally love offerings from
friends & churches from Peru, USA, and Uruguay. Each love offering would seem so little for
givers, but it will help to those pastors and missionaries for one month
expenses. Thanks to God for those who
gave for Cuban pastors and missionaries!!
Pastors
and missionaries serve faithfully to the Lord in spite of little support.
God has touched my heart in
Cuba. There are in Cuba children of God
who love Him and serve Him. There are
growing churches in public auditoriums and houses. There are pastors and missionaries who
proclaim the Word of Go with so little support. There are also many men and
women who answer the call of God to serve in the full time ministry.
The
political system in Cuba has not been an obstacle for souls to be saved. It is not an obstacle for children of God to
consecrate their lives to be preachers of Christ. Be God glorified for
it!! God is Sovereign whatever be the
political system in a country!
In Cuba there are a lot of old buildings with no maintenance.
I came back from Cuba encouraged and
excited. My heart is still with those
servants of God in Cuba. Lord willing, I
will keep looking for support for pastors missionaries there. Beside of our prayers they need economical
support. With 30.00 US Dollars one Cuban
pastor o missionary can do very much for the Lord. If you want to be part in supporting a servant
of God in Cuba, please let me know. Lord
willing I will help you to support a faithful servant of God in that island.
Thank you for reading and praying.
