Amsterdam 2000 - 10,000 pastors
worshiping God. |
To tell you how God opened the
door for Scope to go to Cuba, we need to first tell you how God
put the Cuban people on our hearts. Scope was asked by the
Billy Graham Association to provide Biblical Personal
Guidance Ministry to the 10,300
evangelists at Amsterdam 2000. |
|
|
While in Amsterdam, several of the Scope staff
stayed in the same hotel with 20 Cuban evangelists. While
interacting with them, God
impressed on us the need to teach our material in Cuba. At that
time, we decided to commit through prayer for God to open the door
for Scope to minister in Cuba.
| Now we need to take you to the September 11th
tragedy. Scope was in New York City as Biblical Personal Guidance
Ministers working with the
Billy Graham Association ministering to the people of New York.
While there God introduced us to Straight Path Ministries, whose
primary purpose is to conduct pastors’ seminars in Cuba. Through
this introduction, we were invited to take a team to minister in
Cuba. |

Our God is an awesome God! For two years Scope
has been praying for God to open the doors. He stirred our hearts
at Amsterdam and watched us continue praying for this opportunity
even while in New York City. We never know how God is going to
answer our prayers. We just know that to see our dreams fulfilled
we need to prayer earnestly - according to His will.
Praise God! June 28 - July 8, 2002, Scope sent a
team to minister and train pastors in Cuba!

| Cuba, the land where time stood still. You only
have to be there a few minutes and you feel like you have returned
to the 1950's. The buildings in Cuba are architecturally
beautiful. The tourist area is beautiful with the refurbished
buildings and the park areas. Even though
we saw and sensed the spiritual oppression in Cuba the
Christians are worshipful and joyous. People will come and
sit in the pouring rain, in the woods, for close to an hour
so they can worship. Seventy-year-old grandmothers will walk
through the dark country dirt roads for two hours just to
get to church - twice a week. But despite all this, they
love one another and they share all things. They are very
giving and caring people. |
