50 DAYS OF PRAYER FOR CUBA
A seven-week prayer guide
Dear Prayer Partners,
Thank you for joining us during 50 Days of Prayer for Cuba. We feel very moved to know there are many brothers and sisters in Christ around the world united with us in prayer. It encourages us to be steadfast in our resolve to pray. It is satisfying to see the Holy Spirit confirming in the lives of others that this is God's desire for Cuba.
Here in Cuba the Holy Spirit simultaneously led leaders in both of our Baptist conventions to organize this special period of prayer for our country. We feel an urgency to pray that a million Cubans will come to personal faith in Christ over the next three years. We are also praying earnestly they will congregate in 100,000 new churches that will be started – a church within walking distance of every one of Cuba's 11 million residents.
Baptist churches in Cuba are seeking God's direction to face this giant. Without God we can do nothing. So we want to get in line with God to accomplish this tremendous goal. The 50 Days of Prayer will be the spiritual preparation for our task. We chose "50 Days" because this was the amount of time between Jesus' resurrection and the coming of His Spirit. The disciples were involved in intense prayer during those seven weeks as they awaited the coming of the Holy Spirit. During the 50 Days of Prayer for Cuba, we plan to disconnect from all our normal activities, seeking the Lord the way the believers did in the upper room-in unity and in prayer.
We need to wait on the Lord's empowering to reach and disciple a million Cubans for Christ.
Thank you for joining us as we seek the Lord together during these 50 Days of Prayer.
Your brother in Christ,
José Enrique Pérez
