Exciting news from TOI this month! Both of our shipping containers arrived during the past six weeks. In addition, we financed two more microloans! To see the active presence of the Lord in Cuba this spring has been an encouragement and a joy.
When we consider the idea of an initiative, the first thing that comes to mind is the intentionality behind the work. Intentionality does not see immediate, positive results often. However, the rapidity of both the food ministry fulfillment and the microfinance implementation is truly rewarding—for us but more importantly for the Cuban people. Hear this quote from a local Cuban church member:
"My name is Yaidel. I am Cuban, a member of the First Baptist Church La Trinidad de Santa Clara. (I am) grateful for the donation to our church on behalf of our church and my own family. (May) God continue to bless this ministry."
Read also this testimony from another brother in the faith:
"I wanted to thank you once again for all the love with which you have given yourself to help the church in Cuba. In these difficult times, this shipment of rice and beans has been a relief to many households. Once again, we see the faithfulness of God with His people. With the part that was given to us, we have been able to benefit nearly 400 families. Glory to God!"
The Lord truly is so good, and we are expectantly waiting to see how He will continue to show His goodness!
