As many of you know, Cuba has been in the news a lot recently. I am stirred by the Lord to encourage our brothers and sisters there with these words from Philippians 1:6: “…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Despite the suffering of Christians in the communist country of Cuba, the work of the holy spirit is alive and well. House churches there have been so welcoming to Americans aiming to come and share the good news of Jesus.
Listen here for an incredible story of hope and perseverance I witnessed during my time in Cuba in 2018, and I ask you to join me in prayer for our Cuban brothers and sisters in Christ.
