Una Generación Diferente ~ CUBA ~ A Different Generation |
Cuba lies between the Caribbean and the North Atlantic Sea. Nestled strategically between light and darkness, this beautiful but controversial island, flanked by seas and beaches, is home to over 11 million people. With one million Evangelicals in Cuba, it presents a tremendous opportunity for evangelism. |
|
|
| I was honored to minister for the "Una Generación Diferente" (a different generation) Youth Convention, as God built on 2 previous visits to Cameguay and one to Havana. Over 1,500 young people, mostly the provinces of Cienfuegos, Santa Clara, and Sancti Spiritus as well as Havana and Cameguay come together for ministry.

God truly blessed our time together despite the fact that political issues forced a last minute change of location from the Camillo Cienfuegos venue, to a smaller facility. They added video to a 3rd floor sanctuary, overflow & people in front of the church to accommodate the crowds. Inside with temperatures over 104 degrees and devastating humidity, the young people actively worshiped, participated, and expressed such a hunger for the word that services lasted for hours. Altar calls lasted late into the night. |
|
I ministered on the importance of the power of God and being filled with Holy Spirit. As young people came forward and the crowds from the video sanctuary came down for prayer, they filled the altar, the front, overflowed the center aisle and, spilled into the city street where in open, they prayed to receive Jesus and be filled with God's power.
God's presence was evident. Their hunger for Jesus was clear and the answer to their cry was unmistakable. God delights to answer the prayers of His children. Let Him answer yours!

Thanks to generous donations from Brooklyn Teen Challenge, Don Wilkerson and Dr. Rodney Hart at New England Teen Challenge, we were able to provide meals for the 1,500 young people who came from across Central Cuba to be a part of this outreach.
As exciting as the Youth Convention was, it was exciting to travel the central province for ministry with Pastor Derys, the secretary of the Assemblies of God executive. I ministered in 3 regional pastors meetings in Cienfuegos, Santa Clara and Santi Spiritus. |

|
|
Though the pastor's meetings were not planned, these spontaneous gathering provided a wonderful opportunity to pray with pastors as we traveled the central regions of the island and each evening was climaxed by an evangelist rally in a local church. |

While I was in Cuba, they celebrated Fidel Castro's birthday.
To the right is the logo of the UJS, Unidos Jovenil de CUBA, the communist youth movement. Three words at the top of the logo define their mission: ESTUDIO (study), TRABAJO (work) & FUSIL (weapons). This motto defines the earthly task of the communist youth. I have seen them march in the streets shouting, "Patria O Muerte,"(patriotism or death)!
There is fresh fire in the lives of Pentecostal Youth for Cuba. Not just words recited, but passion fired by God's Love and Holy Spirit power. These young people love God and love their nation, so miracles will follow. |

PRAYER
FOCUS
2010

1)u Pray for the pastors and hungry young people of Cuba who are serving the Lord powerfully on this wonderful island nation. We prayed with hundreds of young people who encountered Jesus . . . Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, David, or Timothy had nothing on the courageous kids I met and prayed with in CUBA. New millennium heroes of the faith continue to emerge as we count down to the return of Jesus.
2)u Please pray for the World Conference on World Evangelization in Cape Town South Africa on October 16-25, 2010. It will be a powerful meeting as 4,000 leaders from 200 countries come together to address the theological and cultural realities of a global church to address the new millennium realties of the Great Commission. This Congress is providing a historic opportunity for all of you, around the world to participate in Cape Town 2010 with us through the Internet-based Lausanne Global Conversation and Cape Town GlobaLink. Please pray for Teen Challenge Centers across Africa as we connect our Africa Centers to the Global Reach Evangelistic events across Africa.
3) Pray for Ron Brown, Executive Director of Southern California who is in Africa ministering in Uganda and Kenya.
4) Pray for Cambodia Teen Challenge as they are trusting God and working to maximize a recent matching grant for increasing capacity.
5) _Please pray for Pastor Highlander and I as we participate in the Potomac District Leadership Roundtable of the Billion Soul Initiative hosted by James O Davis and Dr Elmer Townes. I would encourage you to click on http://vimeo.com/9641036 for a view of the growth and influence of the Internet. Immediately following the roundtable, Dr Davis will leave for Delhi, India, for the Finish Line Summit scheduled for September 1-3, 2010. I know he would appreciate your prayers as the team is working hard for the nearly 600 key leaders who are coming together to synergize their efforts for the unreached people groups of India.
6)__Pray for us as we are prayerfully considering some important decisions over the next few months. We cannot share more right now. We are totally commited to the ministry and our work with Global Teen Challenge and need specific guidance.
7) Pray for workers for the Harvest ...Teen Challenge Centers in 86 countries need staff and we currently have invitations to start Teen Challenge in 43 nations. They are crying out for help. They need the power of God to meet a pressing social need... but we know it has a SPIRITUAL ROOT.
We offer SPIRITUAL RESOURCES to meet the need.
MATTHEW 9: 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
38 Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” |
