Waiting to Meet Dad on His Walk Home...Not Knowing What He Looks Like

That’s story of one of Cuban leaders who will be coaching us on Saturday morning.

His dad was imprisoned for his faith for several years, and the day he was released, with hundreds of others, Pastor Pachy was about four years old.

Pachy couldn’t wait to see his dad, so he went out to a bridge all the released prisoners would cross as they left the prison.

Then it hit him…he didn’t know what his dad looked like.

I’ll have him share that story, and the story of how the churches of his denomination (of which he is president) have been reaching people for Christ multiplying throughout the country against all odds.

I hope you’ll join me, our Board, our Elders, and small group leaders on Saturday, 8:30-11:30am at the Five Oaks building. Register HERE.

How Ordinary People (Like You and Me) Can Live on Mission for God

The last time I was in Cuba I had a conversation with a couple of church leaders that I wished our whole Five Oaks family could participate in.

My mom lived in apartment with the green balcony, three stories up.

The conversation was about how the church in Cuba is reaching more and more people in a completely secularized society.

The bottom line is that it’s through ordinary people.

And the “how” this is happening is inspiring. We have a lot to learn from our Cuban brothers and sister. They have a flourishing church planting movement with almost no money and big societal challenges.

We’re going to have that conversation this Saturday, 8:30 - 11:30am, at the Five Oaks building. I’d love for you to join us. Register HERE.
