Once somber and sad now rejoicing in the Lord!
Cuba:
The blond blue eyed girl in the middle was hopping on the only leg she has, through a plantation path in Cuba the first time I saw her. I asked our church-planter in the next town if he had ever seen this girl who went around hopping on one leg. The church-planter and his wife were happy to tell them that they not only have seen her. She and her mother and grandmother are members of the new church being planted!
They sent word for her and her family to come so we could meet them. We heard the sad story. When Mydelis was only six months, a Dr. tried to put an I. V. into her leg. The procedure went tragically wrong and the Dr. accidentally severed the femural artery! He had no way of cauterizing the hemorrhage. The only option available to save her life was to amputate the leg.
The story sent us into a three year journey trying to acquire a prosthetic limb for her. In the process we led an orthopedic surgeon and his wife to the Lord; and other doors opened up for the Gospel as well.
The great news is that now Mydelis has an articulated prosthetic limb. She has a Christian husband in the new church. and they have a baby! God is Good!

The biggest evangelistic impact: Cuba! We’ve had groups from Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma—and we have groups coming from California and Oregon.
I’ve logged 10,500 kilometers (6,300 miles) in three weeks; our teams have led 1,500 people to Christ—and we ask people in big crowds only to raise their hands if this is the first time they are praying to receive Christ!
Ocean Baptism
The picture above, is one of hundreds of baptisms we have had in the many contexts around the world.
