PAULSEN ATTENDS 'HOUSE OF LIGHT' IN CUBA

Cuba: Standing room only for 'House of Light' dedication; world church president visits island

November 9, 2007 Buey Arriba, Cuba .... [Rajmund Dabrowski/ANN]

During a four-day visit to Cuba, Adventist Church world president Jan Paulsen discussed the church's position in the country with Daniel Fontaine, president of the Adventist Church on the island nation, which this November hosted regional church meetings for the first time in 62 years.

When church officials and guests joined a 500-strong crowd for the opening of a new house of worship in Buey Arriba, it was Raul Alvarez who received the loudest applause.

A recently retired pastor, Alvarez was given a hero's welcome for his contribution to a Seventh-day Adventist congregation, which on Sunday, November 4, officially dedicated a new sanctuary.

Once a political advisor to the leaders of the Cuban revolution, Alvarez in the early 1960s embraced Adventism, whose mission gave him a different calling. Until recently, he served as president of the church in the region. Alvarez returned this month to celebrate a victory of God in a town at the foothills of the Sierra Maestra Mountains in Southeastern Cuba.

Joining hundreds of others for a standing-room-only ribbon-cutting ceremony, Alvarez could not hide his emotions. Years of trying to build a sanctuary with limited resources culminated on that Sunday evening with joyful tears and embraces fit for the occasion.

Referred to as the Buey Arriba House of Light, the church -- a pastor's home whose living room can sit a 200-member congregation -- celebrated in style. Rain did not stop anyone from attending the dedication.

Heavy rains on the day of the celebration delayed the arrival of U.S.-based Maranatha Volunteers International (MVI) -- an organization responsible for building the sanctuary -- and officials of the Adventist Church. When they arrived at 6 p.m., they were already two hours late for the ceremony. But the crowd was waiting. More than 500 people packed into the sanctuary built to seat just 250. Every corner, seat and windowsill was filled with people.

Laura Noble of MVI remembers visiting the Buey Arriba house of worship a few years ago. In her many travels, this was one of the few places that really scared her, she recalled. The roof was made of very heavy red tile held up with a framework of sticks nailed at the apex with a single nail at each joint. Worse yet, she remembers, every stick was absolutely riddled with termite holes. "The whole roof was held up by termites holding hands!" Noble said.

The need for a new house of worship became acute as the congregation grew to 200, according to Adalberto Gonzalez, church pastor. Instead of approving the plans for a church building, the Cuban government extended permission to build a House of Light.

A Maranatha House of Light acts as both a home to the pastor and his family and a house of worship. "But it looks suspiciously like a church!" Noble said. One could not help but wonder how many other living rooms in the region have a baptismal pool. Following the ceremony, a baptism of 10 new church members added to the enthusiasm of the audience.

Daniel Fontaine, president of the church in Cuba, expressed gratitude for the House of Light in Buey Arriba. "It is very meaningful for us. We at least can have one place, one light, where people can go in search of the peace and hope that only Jesus Christ can give."

"And for our country to let us have a place like that," he said, "we are very thankful."

Across the island, in Havana, the Adventist Church in Cuba welcomed Pastor Jan Paulsen, president of the Adventist world church. On Friday, November 2, Paulsen joined 80 delegates of the church's Inter-American (IAD) region attending an annual meeting of its executive committee. Arriving at the Havana airport, Paulsen was met by Caridad Diego, the head of the country's Religious Affairs Office.

Speaking at a Sabbath worship service in Havana's Vibora Adventist Church, Paulsen said, "I feel the strength of your commitment and spirituality. There is so much fire in your soul."

"There is much interest about our church in Cuba," Paulsen said. "It is somewhat isolated, but when brothers and sisters ask, 'Tell us about our church in Cuba,' now I can tell them it is alive in the Lord. It is strong. They live in obedience to the Lord."

"This visit to Cuba is very significant, especially for the church and the government in Cuba," said Israel Leito, president of the church in Inter-America.

Although Cuba is one of the 15 major territories in the region, it has not hosted the IAD executive committee meetings in 62 years, according to church sources. For two years, in the mid-1940s, the Inter-American region was headquartered in Cuba. With more than three million members in three dozen countries, Inter-America represents the largest region in the Adventist world church.

Speaking at the opening session of the IAD meeting, Paulsen recognized the church's "strong focus on mission." He also emphasized the church's need to "build strong communities and meet the world from a position of strength."

He continued the theme of Adventist involvement in society when addressing a representation of the state and local government on Sunday. "We don't carry a political agenda. As a church, we are aware that while we are a spiritual community, we are also committed to building society," he said.

Referring to "positive engagement in society," Paulsen added that Adventists "want to make a contribution to communities, and to make communities more secure."

Jud­son W. Van De­Vent­er, 1896:

The song was writ­ten while I was con­duct­ing a meet­ing at East Pal­es­tine, Ohio, in the home of George Seb­ring (found­er of the Seb­ring Camp­meet­ing Bi­ble Con­fer­ence in Seb­ring, Ohio, and lat­er de­vel­op­er of the town of Seb­ring, Flor­i­da). For some time, I had strug­gled be­tween de­vel­op­ing my tal­ents in the field of art and go­ing into full-time evan­gel­is­tic work. At last the pi­vot­al hour of my life came, and I sur­ren­dered all. A new day was ushered in­to my life. I became an evang­el­ist and dis­cov­ered down deep in my soul a tal­ent hi­ther­to un­known to me. God had hid­den a song in my heart, and touch­ing a ten­der chord, He caused me to sing.

PSALM 5

PSALM 5

1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

10Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

11But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

SALMO 5

1 Escucha, oh Jehová, mis palabras;
Considera mi gemir.

2 Está atento a la voz de mi clamor, Rey mío y Dios mío,
Porque a ti oraré.

3 Oh Jehová, de mañana oirás mi voz;
De mañana me presentaré delante de ti, y esperaré.

4 Porque tú no eres un Dios que se complace en la maldad;
El malo no habitará junto a ti.

5 Los insensatos no estarán delante de tus ojos;
Aborreces a todos los que hacen iniquidad.

6 Destruirás a los que hablan mentira;
Al hombre sanguinario y engañador abominará Jehová.

7 Mas yo por la abundancia de tu misericordia entraré en tu casa;
Adoraré hacia tu santo templo en tu temor.

8 Guíame, Jehová, en tu justicia, a causa de mis enemigos;
Endereza delante de mí tu camino.

9 Porque en la boca de ellos no hay sinceridad;
Sus entrañas son maldad,
Sepulcro abierto es su garganta,
Con su lengua hablan lisonjas.

10 Castígalos, oh Dios;
Caigan por sus mismos consejos;
Por la multitud de sus transgresiones échalos fuera,
Porque se rebelaron contra ti.

11 Pero alégrense todos los que en ti confían;
Den voces de júbilo para siempre, porque tú los defiendes;
En ti se regocijen los que aman tu nombre.

12 Porque tú, oh Jehová, bendecirás al justo;
Como con un escudo lo rodearás de tu favor.

THE GREATEST WANT OF THE WORLD

DIOGENES LOOKING FOR AN HONEST MAN.

The greatest want of the world is the want of men-- men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall. {Ed 57.3}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

La mayor necesidad del mundo es la de hombres que no se vendan ni se compren; hombres que sean sinceros y honrados en lo mas intimo de sus alma; hombres que no teman dar al pecado el nombre que le corresponde; hombres cuya conciencia sea tan leal al deber como la brujula al polo; hombres que se mantengan de parte de la justicia aunque se desplomen los cielos.

La Educacion, pg.54, Ellen G. White.

FALLEN ARCHANGEL

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, Son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
