Quick Update on Cuba Mission Trip

We've been blessed to receive two phone calls from Sean so far (both about 3 minutes in length). So in less than six minutes of total discourse, here's the highlights of what the Lord is doing in Cuba ...

On Saturday the team spent the entire day helping with the children's and youth ministry activities, including an evening service for the teens.

Also that day, an older gentleman in the church asked if Pastor Lucas could share the gospel with a neighbor and her sister that he had been witnessing to. So Pastor Lucas and a few members of the team went over to visit her and her sister. Praise the Lord, they both accepted Christ as their Savior!

On Sunday, the team spent the day with the various local house churches and also held a baptism service at the ocean. Sean said it was rainy and windy, but four souls stepped into the chilly waters to be baptized. Praise the Lord for their obedience to Christ's command. That evening, the local house churches were able to gather together to hold a communion service. Sean said about 70 believers crammed into a small building to remember our Lord and sings songs of praise! What a blessing!

You can check out the post below for the plans for the rest of the week ... please continue to pray for the team there and for the local churches that the Lord will edify and strengthen them all as they continue sharing the Good News with all who will hear! God bless you!!

How exciting! Praise the Lord. I got chills thinking about those people going into the cold water to be baptized! We're praying for Sean and the team--thanks for the update.
