April 2013 Cuba Mission Trip Report

Dear Friends of Cuba,

Praise God for His Provision while we were in Cuba last week! 

 

All of our team members received Cuban Religious Entry Visas and we flew from Miami, on Friday. We knew you were praying for us and we were so thankful. Our team members represented five distinct churches collaborating together sending missionaries to serve in Cuba. We are so grateful for the opportunity to go on mission to Cuba and serve alongside of our brothers and sisters.

Although we faced obstacles in both the Miami and Havana airports, we brought carry-ons and 21 duffle bags of supplies, medicine and resources for the Seminary, for our partners in the churches, the missions, the Baptist Home, and house churches across the island. 

God provided opportunities for team members who have medical experience, to minister to many of the residents at the Baptist Home. We visited with our contacts at three of our partner churches during the week. Many pastors and friends came into Havana to visit with us and give reports of how God is working in and around their local churches.

 

Three of our team members were able to minister to families with children who are suffering from cancer. We are happy to report that two of the moms prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior. That opportunity to share the love of Christ was a direct result of our friends inviting us to take part in their weekly ministry for families who are struggling and need the hope of our Lord Jesus.

 

What to many may be seen as an obstacle, we saw as an opportunity to share the gospel. One of the vans at the seminary broke down and had to be towed back to Havana. Two mechanics from Mercedes Benz arrived at 8 pm to repair the van. Knowing that they were working well beyond their scheduled hours, we provided supper for the men and gave them items to give to their wives when they returned home that night. One of our team members encouraged them, and let them know how much we appreciated them coming to repair the van. We left tracts outlining the gospel of Jesus with them and are praying that others will come alongside of them to help continue pointing these men to Christ. The vans are crucial to spreading the gospel and are used to access remote areas of Cuba with needed resources and supplies.

 

Thanks to the generous donations of sports equipment and uniforms from many families and UPWARD Basketball participants, sixty churches have received these items along with soccer balls for Sport Ministry Programs. Twenty six participants from seven churches attended and were trained at our Puppet Ministry Workshop on Wednesday. Thanks to Tom Spencer of FBCWPB, and FBC Orange Park, all seven churches received puppets, training CD’s and a collection of Spanish puppet dramas in order to start Puppet Ministry Programs in their churches.

 

Thanks for your support and contributions for the April 2013 Mission Trip to Cuba. Please pray with us as we seek God’s guidance in planning for future trips. Psalm 119:105

PTL...Containers delivered and distributed in Cuba!

Dear Friends of Cuba,

Please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Cuba.

Praise God for this great news!...All 5 containers have been delivered and contents distributed in Cuba.

... Thanks to the efforts and organizational skills of LM and Doralyn, who partnered with additional individuals and other groups who provided resources and financial support, once again many in Cuba have been blessed with food and other supplies. A total of seven containers have been shipped to our brothers and sisters in Cuba, since October 31. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

The latest report listed 1,000,000 bowls of vegetable soup mix were unloaded in Havana, Friday, February 15. Thanks to so many that have made these containers possible. Earlier, four other containers were delivered to Santiago, Cuba, located on the eastern side of the island, and distributed to help those suffering from the devastation as a result of Hurricane Sandy.

Please continue to pray for partnerships to flourish so many can be blessed by these efforts.

Cuba para Cristo!

 

 

Cuba Three Kings Day...

Dear Friends of Cuba,

Happy New Year! *** іFeliz Año Nuevo!

Thanks so much for continuing to pray for our friends in Cuba. Many churches celebrated this Christmas season with special music programs and cantatas. Christmas Eve Services included songs, scripture readings, gospel presentations and candlelight ceremonies. On Christmas morning, many families gathered to worship together and celebrate the day.

 

Last Sunday, Three Kings Day was celebrated in many countries around the world. One of our church partners sent the attached photos of their Children’s Ministry activities for Three Kings Day. The leaders provided snacks and a gift bag was given to each child. You may see some of the undies, socks, beanies and toys you gave for this effort!

Please continue to pray for the Western Convention of Churches, the Seminary, the Baptist Home, church missions and house churches, in Cuba. We are reminded daily that God is at work in Cuba and people are being radically transformed by the love of Christ. 

Check out Cuba 4 Christ on Facebook to see the photos from Three Kings Day!

Feliz Navidad

Estimados Amigos de Cuba,

Queremos tener tiempo para darle las gracias por sus oraciones y apoyo. Este ha sido un año muy emocionante para Cuba 4 Cristo. Siempre estamos tan contentos ver cómo Dios pone a las personas en lugar de hacer Su plan. Dios se está moviendo de una manera poderosa. Más de 1.600 personas aceptaron a Cristo como su Salvador y Señor, como resultado de muchos ministerios y campañas en Cuba. Aún más creyentes fueron bautizados en las 328 iglesias de la Convención Bautista de Cuba Occidental. Hemos aprendido que más de 2.000 misiones, iglesias en las casas, y las casas de oración han puesto en marcha y mucha gente está respondiendo al conocimiento de Cristo como su Salvador como resultado de estos grupos. Los esfuerzos del Ministerio están tratando de llegar a los estudiantes y adultos en muchos barrios.

Muchos ministerios incluyendo Deportes, Títeres, De Ninos e Estudiantes, Música, Medicina, Evangelismo, Entrenamiento de Pastores y Líderes de la Adoración, Ayuda en Desastres, Ayuda Humanitaria, Apoyo Familiar, Adultos en la Tercera Edad, Viudas y Huérfanos se están expandiendo en Cuba. Estamos muy contentos de ser parte del plan de levantar estos ministerios y sus líderes en la oración y en ayudar con recursos .

Al llegar al final de 2012, favor de orar en cómo se puede apoyar a Cuba 4 Christ con una donación de ‘fin del año'. Estamos muy agradecidos por sus oraciones y su ayuda financiera.

Dear Friends of Cuba,

We want to take time to thank you for your prayers and support.  This has been a very exciting year for Cuba 4 Christ.  We are amazed how God puts people in place to make His plan come together.  God is moving in a mighty way.  Over 1,600 people accepted Christ as their Savior and Lord as a result of many ministries and campaigns in Cuba.  Even more believers were baptized in the 328 churches of the Western Cuba Baptist Convention.  We have learned that over 2,000 missions, house churches, and prayer houses have been launched and many people are responding to the saving knowledge of Christ as a result of these groups.  Ministry efforts are reaching out to students and adults in many neighborhoods. 

Many ministries including Sports, Puppets, Children’s, Music, Medical, Evangelism, Pastor and Worship Leader Training, Disaster Relief, Humanitarian Aid, Family Support, Senior Adults, Widows and Orphans are expanding in Cuba.  We are excited to be an active partner in lifting up these ministries and their leaders in prayer and in helping supply resources.

As we come to the close of 2012, please prayerfully consider how you can support Cuba 4 Christ with ‘year-end’ giving.  We are so thankful for your prayers and for your financial assistance.  Please donate securely on-line at www.cuba4christ.org (Click on Donate Now to be connected to the site for Cuba 4 Christ donations via First Baptist Church of West Palm Beach.)
