Dear Friends and Churches,
As we close another year, in the wake of the tragedy of September 11, it is easy to be discouraged looking back, and our heart indeed goes out to the thousands that were and will be affected for the rest of their lives. But we, reflecting back on this year and especially since this horrific incident can see a more spiritual attitude among a lot of God's people that I have not seen in a long time. In the 90's as missionaries, we had been in Bolivia for some time and when we returned to the States we could tell a difference in the churches, the attitude of materialism, of trying to buy a bigger house and a have a nicer car that consequently produced a no care attitude among the saints that we had never seen. Now after the tragedy, there is a notable difference that I only hope will not die as time proceeds. I preached four revivals in October and November that brought results that I had not seen in a while. In one revival in Kentucky we had seven professions of faith. The attendance of each of these revivals grew as the week went on. I am looking forward to the New Year with hopes that interest for the things of God grows.
In 2001, I went into Cuba for the first time. I saw a renewed interest in the gospel as these Cuban people have an opportunity that they have not had in 40 years, of going to church and enjoying ¨some spiritual liberty¨. I watched these people flock to the services with excitement. I came back to the States with hopes of raising support for those pastors that we met there. I traveled to some of our supporting churches and told of the growth in those churches there in Cuba. I hope to be able to travel to more of our supporting churches in the year that approaches with hopes of raising support for more of those men. I now have enough pledged support to support 14 of those nationals!
Our works in Bolivia had some problems in the first of the year 2001 but they seem to be stabilizing now. We brought one man here with hopes of raising support for him through ¨Help Ministries¨, a ministry out of a church in Brandon, Florida. His name is Samuel Rojas. He was here for four months, his support was raised and he will be working (God willing) in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. He will be working through our mission board there in Bolivia, ¨Light of the World Baptist Mission¨. We hope to bring another Bolivian pastor this next year with hopes of raising support for him. In two weeks we will have a national pastor from Cuba here in the States for three months, with hopes of raising support for him.
In the month of February, God willing we will be traveling for the complete month to Cuba, Bolivia, and Chili. Please pray for our travels and our time in these countries as we check on these works, and preach in some of these churches.
We want to give our thanks to all our supporters who have supported us faithfully this year monetarily and prayerfully. May God bless you richly in your ministry as we all try to serve God in the light of the things that are happening in these last days.
Joyfully Yours,
Dale Cable, 1 Sam. 12:24
