Agape Flights Prayer Force,
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation and give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, we are reminded that many of our brothers and sisters in Christ—just beyond our shores—do not share those same liberties. The freedom to worship openly, proclaim the Gospel without fear, and gather as the Body of Christ is a privilege we should never take for granted.
I have just returned from the communist island of Cuba, where I witnessed both incredible encouragement and heartbreaking need. The church in Cuba is experiencing remarkable spiritual growth as men, women, and families are coming to faith in Jesus Christ. Yet at the same time, the physical needs are overwhelming. Food shortages continue to worsen, and many families are struggling simply to survive.
Our Cuban church leaders and national missionaries are serving faithfully under extraordinary pressure. They are laboring tirelessly to shepherd their congregations, care for their communities, and share the hope of Christ, often while enduring hardship, persecution, and personal sacrifice. Many are simply exhausted.
Would you join us in praying this month?
• Pray for the Church in Cuba as it continues to grow spiritually despite immense physical and economic challenges.
• Pray for Cuban national pastors and missionaries who faithfully proclaim the Gospel while facing hardship, persecution, and daily uncertainty. Ask the Lord to strengthen, encourage, protect, and sustain them.
• Pray for Agape Flights’ mission partners throughout the Caribbean—in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas. Many are hosting short-term mission teams this summer as they minister to their communities and share the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. Pray that these efforts will bear lasting spiritual fruit.
• Pray for the Agape Flights team as we continue to faithfully serve those who serve. Ask God for wisdom, safety in every flight, strength for every task, and the resources needed to meet the growing demands of this ministry.
Please continue to pray for our ministry through the new Aircraft Hangar expansion. The groundwork is almost completed and we are hopeful to soon see a foundation being laid.
Thank you for standing with us through your prayers. Your faithful intercession strengthens the hands of those serving on the front lines of ministry throughout the Caribbean.
