Pray for Cuba

Please pray for the people of Cuba as another hurricane pounds their island today. Ike seems to be even more devastating than Gustav was a couple of weeks ago. Reports of 50 foot waves are coming out of Baracoa, a coastal area mid-island.

Pastor Eduardo and the church leaders we work with there have ministries in Baracoa. Eduardo and his ministry is based in an area called Alamar which is on the coast near Havana. Obviously, being in a coastal area that's practically at sea level will be devastating with a storm like this.

Join me in praying for physical safety for the people and their property. They have so little to begin with that it's hard to imagine how they will rebuild. But God knows and I am confident He is more than able to provide for them.

We are scheduled to return to the island in two months, November 14 - 21. We'll see this week if the storm affects the work God has for us to do there.

Thanks for praying.
