Santiago Lastra Morales

I would love to be writing this report with a spirit of joy, as I always do upon returning from a trip to another country.

On this occasion, however, I am writing with a bitter-sweet taste in my spirit.

I will share the sweet part first:

There is a faithful remnant in Cuba: brave, dedicated, crying out, faithful, and trusting in God’s promises for his people.

They are people of God who are being tested, and passed through the furnace of great tribulation and who have remained firm.

They are a people God is uniting through persecution, limitation, want and frustration.  Through his Holy Sprit He is bringing them to unity.

This faithful remnant is the hope of redemption for this nation.  These sons of God are the bearers of God’s Glory, which will be manifested in this nation, as it will be in the entire world.

This faithful remnant is eager to hear and to receive the impartation of the revelation that God is giving to other servants in the world.  They are thirsty for fellowship and for the love of their brothers and sisters.  They are hungry for the Rhema of God, his living word for their spirits.

All of this was reaffirmed in my recent and fourth apostolic journey to the Island in the past two years.  The Lord allowed me to receive an invitation from Apostle Bernardo Quezada Salmon, from the city of Camaguey, who is a shield on the battle-front in the battle against Babylon in that nation.

I returned from a trip to Brazil and Chile at the end of November and immediately began to prepare for my trip to Cuba, where I ministered on December 15 to a powerful group of leaders who have been formed in Apostle Quezada’s ministerial school.  They are all worshipers who are mature and fervent in their love of the Lord and ready to go to the nations as Ambassadors of the Kingdom.

I was able to confirm that the tribulation they have been submitted to is part of God’s purposes to refine their character in every area, since God has placed in each one of them a desire to go to the nations: not to flee from their repressive government, as they could have done long ago, and as many others have done, but to deliver the message of the King.

Now is the time when the King of the Universe has revealed His Word, directed at his children dispersed throughout the nations: “Children, it’s time to come Home.  Return to me and I will return to you.”

There is nothing more important for a father than the desire for his children who are dead or lost to return home.

The Father is calling us to return home.

The Son has revealed the path back to the Father.

And the Holy Spirit has already prepared ambassadors of the Kingdom and has revealed to us the Word of the Father and the Son.

It is urgent that we prepare those thousands of ambassadors in every nation, in whom God has marked the nations on each one of their hearts.

God has placed a burden in my spirit for this nation, and I must return to it this year at least four or five times.

We decree, along with that Holy Remnant, the fall of Babylon in that nation, as we have in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico.  As the Lord spoke to me in a prophetic word for Cuba last year, the only kingdom that will conquer that nation is the Kingdom of Heaven.  Now is the time.

Now the bitter part:

The bitter part of this experience is that to go to Cuba, Babylon opposes in every way so that the builders of God’s house cannot arrive there, and everything is designed for foreigners to become discouraged and to be afraid to travel to the island.

Visiting God’s family in Cuba is only for those to whom God has entrusted this mission, because it takes courage, prudence, patience, love, mercy, wisdom, and humility, and all the other fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit, since you will be tested at every moment.  You must also have a willing heart to sow and invest in the Kingdom, because not only will you not receive any financial offering, but when you go you must offer all you have, and even offer yourself in order to accomplish God’s divine purpose there.

In exchange, you will receive an offering of love, attention, and honor from our Cuban brothers.

During the past four years of my ministry, during which the Lord has sent me to the six continents, I have never requested, nor received, the offering of a plane ticket or an offering to cover my expenses in any place, though God himself has provided for me through our ministry and through our business, a daycare center.  But now I am appealing to all those brothers, members of God’s family, who have been witnesses of God’s working through our ministry, to unite with us in establishing God’s Kingdom in Cuba, and to support us financially to accomplish this work.

The cost of a trip is two thousand dollars per person, and in addition we will need to take printing materials, because it is practically impossible to make photocopies in that nation.

Although it seems incredible, the use of Internet in Cuba is prohibited, and for foreigners, who have access to it, it costs $10 per hour.

For Latinos it is very difficult to travel to the United States because of the cost of currency there.  It is even more expensive to travel to Europe.  But traveling to Cuba is insanity: it is much more expensive than either the United States or Europe.  But despite that, God’s work there will be done with or without your support.  Now is the opportunity that God has given you for this work to be done with your collaboration.  You can go to the nations along with us through your financial contribution and by beginning to pray and prepare yourself to preach the Word of the message of the Kingdom along with us so that we speak one message and have one spirit.

Contact me about your offerings and contributions, and I would like to share that God has already provided the entire cost of one of my next journeys to Cuba through the ministry of the Apostle John M. Boney.  My next trip will be at the end of February or the beginning of March.

I invite everyone to unite with us in prayers and spiritual warfare against the Spirit of Babylon until it falls and is destroyed.  I hope that next year Apostle Boney will also go to that nation to share the word, along with other ministers who speak the same language.  It is time to rise up to build God’s house.  It is time to flee from Babylon.  It is time to stop building our own houses and build His House.

Apostle Santiago Lastra Morales.
