Carl and Kathy Most

Just like God does, we had 'randomly' met at a local missions conference and God knit our hearts together from the very start.  A few months later they asked if they could come with me to Cuba sometime - and so God brought all the details together and off we all went - their first time in Cuba.  Every day was packed to the max and Marty and Patrick saw first hand what life and ministry is like in Cuba.

Their hearts were touched and lives enriched as they took every chance to serve others and listen deeply as each pastor and their families spoke.  God gave these 2 men discernment in asking beautiful questions and wisdom in giving sound Godly advice.

I must say that my life was blessed and encouraged in having these 2 men join me.  I pray that God will send more Godly servant leaders to come alongside Kathy & I  as we continue to mentor, encourage and train pastors & leaders in Cuba.

Timing!  It's incredible how God works in the details.  Each visit with special Nicaraguan friends was just when they were most needing it!

As children & adults bravely shared their stories of the realities and hardships of their lives, we intently listened (hearts wide open).  At times we weeped with those who were weeping, spoke words of encouragement, and prayed blessings over each home.

One powerful moment that truly captured this moving of the Spirit is caught in this photo below.... each heart touched as hands lay on each others hands.  Thanks to all who prayed for us, the women who went with us (Jodie & Margaret) on this trip to Nicaragua.  We praise God that families and ministries are the stronger for it.

Praises:

1. Impactful summer outreach for partner Cuban churches.
2. Times of encouragement among pastoral families, leaders and dear friends in Cuba & Nicaragua.
