Join me for my Sunday message, "Unto the Least of These." My recent trip to Cuba left me with a powerful reminder of why I answered a call to ministry int he first place. Without appearing to be harsh, the call to ministry was not about taking care of a group of grumpy church goers (no particular church in mind here) but about bringing the lost to Christ and teaching them to become strong, reproductive Disciples. I will be giving a report on my trip, what I saw and especially what I experienced.

I can leave you for the moment with nothing more than the scripture I read to the students and our team at the Men's Teen Challenge Center outside Havana:

““When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’” (Matthew 25:31–40, NIV84)
