Emanuel’s Story
Emanuel’s Story took us from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs and back again. The Cubans and Americans who played their respective parts were able to witness a little boy live his greatest dream, if only for a moment. The painful realization that “God’s ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are greater than our thoughts” might never make sense. But maybe, just maybe, the Lord is re-surfacing this heart-wrenching story to instill hope for all Cubans to dream their greatest dream of freedom too.

Author
In the summer of 1995, George Shamblin left a successful career in pharmaceutical sales, and a year-end bonus large enough to pay for three years of tuition, to enroll at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. Though he experienced more than his share of challenges and setbacks over the next 25 years, it's a decision he's never regretted. Since 2012, Shamblin has served as a pastor with The Center for Executive Leadership, in Birmingham, Alabama where he teaches Bible Studies, disciples others at various stages of spiritual growth, and maintains an active role in leading overseas mission trips. Also an adjunct professor at Birmingham Theological Seminary, Shamblin published his first book, The Relay, in 2020. An avid outdoorsman, as well as a Master Gardener, George and his wife of 27 years, Jill, have four children Sydney, Bailey, Miller, and George Jr.
