I am getting some reports back from Cuba and we should have a more specific plan for help in the next 24 hours. I am translating what I got today as the guys on the ground are moving throughout the country.
This note is from Fernando Filgueira who is traveling with Felix visiting the Evangelists and church-planters in the East rig
ht now. They are in the area of Bayamo; Guantanamo; and Holguin -- all points east.

Warm greetings in the Lord! I just got this report from one of our professors returning from Cuba. Uwe Hutter is a very serious German Prof. and is not given to sensationalism, thus the report is much stronger than it reads. I think it is good for all of us to be aware and to continue to press on in the work in these crucial times for Cuba.
The country is in a very delicate crossroads where the people are seizing up the situation with r
evolt, or revolution, as a possibility. I translated the report and included the original in Spanish for you.
"Dear Manny, I just got back from Cuba and I wanted to give you a small report of the situation there. I am not sure if you have been in Cuba since it was hit by the hurricanes in August and September. Since that time the living situation in the country has taken a turn for the worst, if that is possible.

A while back, Felix, our national coordinator for Cuba, was traveling in an ancient van that he has kept "alive" for decades.
Felix graduated as a mechanical engineer from the university in Havana, so he has been able not only to keep the van going, but also to make many improvements. He turned the four-speed transmission into a seven-speed for better gas mileage. He raised the roof so that workers could actually stand up inside it. He has done a heroic job of inventing and duplicating parts, even recreating some of them with a lathe.
It is almost impossible for Cubans to own a vehicle because the government considers this a luxury item. A license plate is the ticket to ownership, a very rare privilege in that island nation. It's so valued that if your car is ever destroyed in an accident, you salvage the license plate and build your next car around it!

A businesswoman was waiting at the same airport gate as me at the airport in Charlotte, North Carolina.
She had all the trappings of being a busy, successful person-dressed in a power suit, talking on a cell phone early in the morning prior to the flight. She was the last passenger to board the plane so that she could continue to make phone calls until the last possible minute. And then—surprise—her seat was next to mine.
