In Ottawa we have had the privilege of hosting Rafael's friend, Orlando, from Cuba. Orlando was an architect who gave it up to see people saved (and plant churches). He has been equipping the body here to get out to the streets and share the good news of Christ by teaching at Sunday meetings and in the life groups. Our life group in particular has spent several evenings with Orlando - teaching, praying, and getting out on the streets.
One thing I love most about this is that our relationship with the church in Cuba has now started to be reciprocal. We have talked as a board for the "Share Life Without Borders" NGO about to establish this reciprocal type relationship with people that we are helping so as to avoid the mentality that we can help you, but you have nothing to offer to us.
When we go into Cuba to teach and equip, it is always obvious to me that, while there are things we carry a revelation on that we can share to benefit those we meet, there are areas where they are way ahead of us... Right now, in Ottawa, we are benefiting from the things that God has already shown them. Fabulous!
