URGENT PRAYER REQUEST:
As you will read, Gilbert made it safe and sound back from Cuba but while he was gone Sofia began with a slight cold, then tonsillitis and on Saturday the doctor confirmed that she has pneumonia! She had a fever most of last week and for the past two days has been without a fever, but today she had a fever of 101.
Will you join us in prayer for health:
- Sofia has pneumonia
- Gilbert still has a nagging cough from last week's cold
Thanks for praying for Gilbert he is back from Cuba!
First, thank you for praying for Gilbert as he traveled to and from Cuba, there were no logistical problems and for that we are thankful. Second, thanks for praying for God to speak through him, as you will see in the pictures below it was a fruitful time.

Hungry for God: one way I would describe the students in Cuba is, Hungry. Hungry for God. The response of the students at the alter was amazing, longing for God to touch them, direct them and minister to them.

It was hot! In these days we experienced the hottest days of the years, according to the pastor of the church, still students packed the church and sought after God. See below:

The President and the Vice President of the national youth department in different ocassions said, "please let those who made this trip possible know that we are profoundly thankful." The President of ACEP (the national university student group) was expressing to me that in has been three years since they have been able to hold this kind of meeting, and at the verge of tears, she was saying "Thank you" for making it possible.
Thank you to all who gave a bit extra for to help cover the expenses for this trip. Thank you for praying for God to encourage, equip and minister to these students.
