February Newsletter 2026

I love the old gospel hymn “Living by Faith.” I learned it as a boy and have always loved and sung it. It is like fire in my bones. I am so grateful for faith.

_{Living by faith in Jesus above, Trusting, confiding in His great love;
From all harm safe in His sheltering arms, I’m living by faith and I feel no alarm.}

What a promise! What a God! Sadly, it seems many Christians sing another version:

_{Living by faith, barefooted I trek, Living by faith, the rent I must meet;
Living by faith, there’s nothing to eat; Living by faith, how bittersweet.}

My, my, what a contrast. What a different view and outlook. I can honestly say that the life of faith and the lifestyle of living by faith, including giving by faith (or Living to Give), is the greatest gift God has bestowed upon us after Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Word, and the Church!

Last month I wrote to you, as directed of the Lord, about making and changing history around the world and gave you testimonies, particularly in the Communist island nation of Cuba, just 90 miles off the coast of the USA. I told you I would continue the life of faith there in this month’s letter.

The thing about that is, I wrote 15 pages continuing to share the life of faith and the history-changing and history-making testimonies of what God has done and used me to do in that nation. All glory to God! I shared things I’ve not told before and things you have heard but I have never had the time to minister in detail in a church or in my partner letter. So, I have decided to spare you a 15-page letter but still minister to you what the Lord led me to share. Therefore, I am going to quickly make it a booklet that you can download or read in hard copy in just a couple of weeks. You will be blessed by the life of faith and our many years of service in Cuba with these miracle testimonies, and you will be challenged to step up and move in faith yourself.

In all the miracles I’ve had around the globe these 58 years—almost six decades—it’s not because I’m a great guy, or a great orator as a preacher, or any other worldly thing. I got the job simply because I showed up and was both willing and obedient. I’ve not done everything perfectly, but I have tried my best, given my best, and did not quit. I don’t know when or how my story on earth will end, but nowhere in the report will it say that I gave up!

It seems strange, but in all the testimonies, over all the years, all the times I’ve stood or attacked in faith, I never really thought about it or realized at the time that “Wow, that really was faith.” Sometimes it took months or even years, and then at some point it hit me—that really was faith. I really used faith! At the time I was going through the situation, I was simply trying to stay alive, or keep someone alive, or cause a miracle to happen in each case.
I was just always, over the decades, aware of some things. I knew the Lord gave me those five scriptures that taught me the Word of Faith and radically changed my life back in 1968 when I was 18. I knew and was aware all those years that David picked up five smooth stones before he killed Goliath, which I’ve always said were the Name, the Blood, the Word, the Covenant, and the power of the Holy Spirit. I knew He gave me the five basic needs of man. I knew Jesus gave us the Great Commission five times, and I knew in Mark 16 part of His word on the Great Commission was that believers would have five signs following them. Not that I’ve ever been into numerology, but it did catch my attention. The number five in the Bible denotes God’s grace, goodness, and favor. It is also associated with divine protection, as well as the Pentateuch having five books and the five wounds Jesus received.

Those are the things that motivated me, and I trust they will motivate you! Motivate you to act in faith and live by faith. The five scriptures are: Romans 12:2, Joshua 1:8, Jeremiah 1:12, Psalm 138:2, Proverbs 4:20-22.

I have always said and taught that the way to have healings and miracles is to show up where people are sick and hurting. The greatest thing I have ever done is to show up, because when I show up, God shows up! Every miracle, every act of faith happened because I showed up. In 58 years of third-world missionary evangelism, I didn’t always have the whole plan. I didn’t always know how something would happen. I just showed up willing and obedient, and Heaven moved. You can do this too. You can live by faith, act in faith, show up willing and obedient, and Heaven can move for you!

All these accomplishments, all these testimonies didn’t just happen because of me alone. It was because of our faithful partners standing with us, praying and giving, and of course because of our great God honoring His Word.

I will let you know how to access the download about Cuba.

Still Living by Faith,
