Thank you for your faithfulness in praying for one million people to accept Jesus as their Savior and Lord in Cuba by the year 2010. Although Hurricanes Gustav and Ike have caused much damage in the country and many are without sufficient food supplies and shelter, the Christians continue to press forward with the goal of winning their country for Christ. October 10 was set as the National Day of Prayer for the Spiritual Salvation of Cuba in 2006. There will be a prayer vigil beginning the night of October 9th at 6 p.m. until 6 p.m. on October 10th. This will be a time of remembering the passage in 2 Chronicles 7:14; a call for the people of God to humble themselves, pray and seek God's face. Each Christian in Cuba is asked to pray "on the 10th day of the 10th month for 10 people to be saved each year until 2010."
- Pray that God will give them strength as they pray through the hours of the prayer vigil.
- Pray for a special worship service on Sunday morning, October 12, that the pastors will deliver a message of salvation and hope for the people in their community who have such desperate needs.
- Pray that God will supply their needs of food, shelter, and clean water.
Day Fifty
Sunday, May 11
Thank you for praying for Cuba during these 50 days. But this is just the beginning of Cuban Baptists' plan to reach their country for Christ. Prayer is essential to that plan, and Cuban Baptists value your continued prayers. Pray the dreams of Cuban pastors and the visions of thousands of lay ministers will become a reality. Pray Cuba will indeed be won to Christ.

Day Forty-nine
Saturday, May 10
Rapid church growth requires strong leadership development. As Cuban Baptists seek to plant a church within walking distance of every person in Cuba, pray the Lord of the harvest will send more laborers into the harvest. Ask God specifically to call out more workers to reach children and youth, the future leaders of Cuban churches.
