Cuba

In January of 2014, a team of eight pastors and teachers descended on Havana, Cuba for the second annual Apostolic Leadership Conference. What God had begun a year earlier, He was about to take a step further...

Havana, Cuba: a beautiful but sad place...

The Russian embassy

Cuba's fabled old cars abound.

Great poverty, both spiritual and material

There was a HUGE need of all Apostolic Doctrinal teaching: holiness, new birth, etc. More than one expressed to us: "After 50 years of isolation, we have almost totally lost the Message." Heart-rending...

The crowds were very large – but there was resistance to the Word from some quarters.

Still, the Word of God began to do its work! Pastor Galindo teaching...

Missionary Keith Nix teaches on "The Need for a Teachable Spirit"...

The anointing breaks the yoke! Finally, people streamed forward, REPENTING...

Jewelry and makeup left at the altar.

No words...we wept and wept.

With repentance and submission...came a mighty outpouring of the Holy Ghost!!
At least 22 were gloriously filled - including (believe it or not) pastors and pastors' wives!

What Missions is all about...!

The team consisted of Rev. Paul Baumeister (Sacramento, CA), Rev. Robert Santillana (Calgary, AL, Ca), Missionary Pedro Ochoa (Belize), Pastor Kelly Nix (San Antonio, TX), Pastor Carl Brown (Rialto, CA), Pastor Julio May (Memphis, TN), Pastor Jesse Galindo (Durham, NC), and Missionary Keith Nix.

PLEASE PRAY FOR CUBA'S 3rd ANNUAL APOSTOLIC DOCTRINE CONFERENCE!

It is taking place this week...and there is much more that needs to happen. This missionary will not be attending this year, but my heart yearns for those precious people...
