"Sara por fa no dejen de orar por nosotros."

"Sara, please don't stop praying for us." That is the message from our Cuban student who has gone back home to begin working full time with her church. (I mentioned her in a previous post). She is discouraged and feeling overwhelmed. Life is worse there than she remembered.

Another Cuban friend told us that to return to Cuba is like putting yourself back into prison. But God called our student back home…so she got on the plane and went back. HOW hard. I won't soon forget her face as she left, or her tears, or her petitions. So many times she said to me, "Don't forget me."

There is a lot of persecution there, and life in general is very hard. Please, don't stop praying for Cuba and for the believers there.
