December 2022: Ministry Update

Our time with our Cuban friends in November was amazing. The Lord continues to provide opportunities for stories to be told, lives to be changed, and for dreams of new livelihood projects and home churches. He is expanding our boundaries for ministry in ways we could not have imagined and is bringing people to the table to help us do the things we cannot. All of this in the middle of chaos and uncertainty. The crazier the world gets the more we see Jesus showing up with new opportunities. He is in the business of rescuing people, and He is doing an incredible work in the world right now.

Jeff has often explained how Jesus uses our stories (of grace and redemption) and puts us in situations to share that story with someone who needs to hear that exact message. It happens over and over again when we’re on the streets of Havana. A friend of ours, Dan Solomon, lost his wife, Lena, to cancer a few years ago. Dan spends many hours at the Cancer Center here in Montgomery ministering to patients there. Every person Dan had the opportunity to share his story with in Havana (and I mean EVERY person) was with someone who has cancer or a family member who has cancer. Dan was able to connect with so many people to encourage and pray with them in a very specific way. Dan ministered from his life to hurting people who needed to hear about God’s redeeming grace. I’d like to encourage you to share your story as the Lord gives you the opportunity. Be intentional…the Lord has given you a story uniquely designed, and it needs to be heard. Someone is waiting on you to share it!
