Dear Friends of Cuba,
Thanks for continuing to pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in Cuba. These last few months in Cuba, have been filled with Vacation Bible School events, youth camps, sports events, and retreats.

Our friends Elena, Alicia, Jose Enrique, Ruben, Abdiel, Delvis arrived at MIA, last Thursday, and we were able to visit with them. Abdiel had an opportunity to preach at Oasis de Amor Church, in West Palm Beach, on Sunday. Later that afternoon, he attended FBCWPB’s beach baptism with us. We are thankful for JC and Loli hosting Abdiel in their home while he was here.

It was our pleasure to spend time with Dr. Victor Samuel Gonzalez, former president of the Western Cuban Baptist Convention of Churches this week. Dr. Victor Samuel is an oncologist and leads Ve y Dilo Ministries, spreading the gospel of Christ all throughout Cuba. Nidia treated us to a delicious lunch at her home while Victor Samuel was here.
