Pastor's Notes to Wesley
|
|
|
|
|
|
When my kids were growing up, we were the best at road trips. Brenda was really good at the planned ones and I excelled at the ones that just happened. My soul has been drawn to "let's see how this works out." Brenda is a methodical planner and knows all the possibilities. We would drive to Myrtle Beach, about 10 hour trip, and Brenda had little surprises for the kids every two hours. The trips would have been completely different if I were in charge. I loved both kinds of trips.
|
My journey with Jesus has been a lot like our road trips. Many many times the plans I placed before the Lord came to pass pretty close to what we imagined. All along the way there were always surprises God had in store for us. There have been times when the entire plan went awry. There have also been times when I have been running to catch up to God. Those journeys have been the most fruitful. The adventure of running to catch up with God has always enlivened me.
|
I remember moving to Florida in 1995. People said, "you're going to do what?" "We are moving to Florida to start a church in a community where we do not know a single person. So we are going to call them all and introduce ourselves to them and invite them to church, all 10,000 of them." We were so naïve, so enthusiastic, and that time was so fruitful for the kingdom. Sometimes we just have to do something crazy.

I do love being your pastor,

Thanks to the wonderful generosity of our Wesley fellow-workers, I’ve been able to send Pastor Misleydis and our Media Luna brothers and sisters financial assistance, 12 lbs. of generic medicines & toiletries (which should arrive in 3 months) and food from a store in Bayamo. We have contributed to the funds for the on-going purchasing and sending prescription drugs to the Methodist Church Medical Commission of each Methodist district so they can be regulated, distributed and reported back by a doctor. We are contributing to 60 lbs. of prescription drugs, going to the S. Maestra district Medical Commission from where Pastora may request them in the case of urgent need by the members of the Media Luna church.
|
Many of you saw the picture of Cuba Bishop that I emailed you a few days ago, when he picked up these medicines from Cuba Customs in the church van. There is another shipment of 60 lbs. per district ready to be sent now. Prayers have opened the floodgates of heaven, Hallelujah!!!
|
|
Please pray for all the members of the Media Luna Methodist Church, Pastora Misleydis and their families.
|
Pray that God Almighty send angels to hover over the loving parcels sent there and let them arrive, safely and timely, as a token of Your eternal love that bind us together, in the name of Jesus, Amen
|
|
If any of you have any questions, please email me, call me or just talk to me at church.

Sending many blessings to all of you, Renee
