DEAR AGAPE FLIGHTS PRAYER FORCE,
Recently I received this message from a dear young Cuban brother in Christ who is experiencing tremendous challenges regarding his wife’s health condition. He said, “My dear brother, may God bless you today and I pray that you are well. I would like to thank you and your wife for the book that you gave me on your most recent trip to Cuba. It has been a great blessing to my life as it came at a time where the uncertainty of waiting for something that has not yet arrived has lead me to despair, and to experience sadness and doubt. However, through this book, God has spoken even in the midst of the uncertainty of the future and He has given me peace that surpasses all understanding. He has filled me with confidence in Him! Moreover, although I do not yet see an answer, I know He is working. God has shown me that what I have to do today is live and encourage my bride to live in faith. It is difficult and we are desperate but I am not defeated. Often I have found in the desperation God has made me grow in faith, meanwhile He is shaping my character to that of Christ’s. Today, my faith is stronger than ever despite the circumstances and it is because I refuse to stop believing for that moment that God can perform a miracle. I am thanking Him in advance. I trust Him and understand that his desire for my family and I is pleasant and perfect even though God does not always give us what we expect, I am glad that He gives us what we need. I am sending a big hug to you, your wife, and the amazing Agape Team that came to encourage all the brothers and sisters in Cuba. Would you ask you Agape Flights prayer family to pray for my family and me?”
My friend Daniel is simply one of many who daily need our prayers. Daniel’s wife is in the midst of cancer treatment in Havana, Cuba. Some days they do not have the medicines; other days they do not have electricity or water. Nevertheless, just as he said to me while I was on the trip, “Allen, Jesus is all you need especially when Jesus is all you have!”
Would you join me in praying for Daniel, his wife, and their family from Havana, Cuba?
Would you pray for Bruce Bosco, Agape’s Cargo/Logistics Director as he navigates the mountain of supplies that need to be delivered to the mission field as soon as possible?
Would you pray for Tony Duron and Sonia Rehder as they work together with Agape’s missionary affiliates to efficiently and effectively find ways to supply the needs of mission partners in each of our locations?
Would you pray for our flight ops crew that they would be able to fly even more mission flights to provide the opportunities to share the gospel with those who have never heard the message of Christ’s unconditional love?
Psalm 139:11-12: "If I say, 'Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,' even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you."
Thank you for joining Agape’s Prayer Force, it’s time to get on our knees!
Allen T. Speer, Chief Executive Officer
