As you're probably aware, several strong tropical storms have recently passed through the Caribbean ... a lot of rain and high winds. Our dear friends Esther and Alex in Cuba have requested prayer for Cuba, particularly the Santiago area, where they live. While they have not reported injuries, there has been fairly extensive damage. Their home came through ok, but not so their property. Power lines and trees downed, likely including fruit trees which they rely upon for food and "barter currency". This comes on top of unemployment, shortages of food and fuel and religious oppression (country-wide). Both are wonderfully-strong awesome believers, putting the Lord first in their lives, and faithful to Him and faithful to serve others in need.
