You want to live a life that matters. You want to feel significant, empowered, and for your life to count for something. You read about the way the followers of Jesus lived in the first century, and you long for that kind of life — where living out your faith means hearing the voice of God and changing people’s lives.

You want to go to the next level with God. You want a changed life.

Adventures in Missions has taken more than 115,000 people on mission trips around the world. Through various short and long-term programs, Adventures In Missions helps people from all walks of life discover the world, who Jesus is, and what Jesus has called them to: making disciples of all nations (Matthew 28) and being his witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1).

Imagine experiencing firsthand how to listen to the voice of God, serve others in high-need ministry contexts, and make a real, tangible difference in the lives of others.

If you want to join a Christ-centered community committed to doing what the first generation of disciples did, then it’s time for you to join us in…

Less than 90 miles from the United States lies the largest island in the Caribbean, Cuba. It has the second largest population in the region, and before the US Embargo of 1960, was one of the most advanced and prosperous nations in Latin America. 

Enter the Communist Revolution in 1959.

Economic depression followed the Soviet Union’s collapse. The Embargo limited trade and tourism to the nation in 1960, and the combination of those three factors crippled the economy and hurt its people.

Adventures began officially sending teams to Cuba in 2012, before the Embargo lifted. What we found was a nation hungry for Christ and a growing church inviting us to partner with them.

Officially, Cuba is a secular nation. There is no national religion, although about 59% of the population would consider themselves Catholic. There is no organized faith. While it isn’t illegal to be a Christian in Cuba, until recently they couldn’t openly share their faith. Churches could not build church buildings, but they were free to meet in their homes.

Ministry:

Our teams partner with a ministry that raises up and sends out pastors and missionaries to plant churches throughout Cuba—and the rest of the world.

Ministry could be throughout the island. Alongside the local Cuban missionaries, you may serve in:

• Home Visits: Visiting and encouraging local church members through prayer, listening to their stories, and getting to know their families

• Sports Ministry: Play sports with kids, whether at a local school or a pick-up game in a neighborhood.

• Relational Evangelism: Share the Gospel with anyone you meet, whether in a local park, on the street, or a community gathering.

• Bible Studies: Share and/or teach in Bible studies or church services

• Church Ministry: Worship with local believers and visit different church plants,

• Prayer Ministry: Praying for the sick and interceding for Cuba

For the first time in half a century, Cuba is officially open to Americans. With a growing church network, members hungry for encouragement from Christians across the world, and so many who have never heard the Gospel, this literally is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Lodging

You’ll stay with one other person (2 per room) in a room with beds! Showers are included in each home. You’ll have electricity, and clean water, but no wifi.

 God is calling you to journey with Him, to share His love with the nations and establish His Kingdom on earth. Will you join Him in Cuba?

Pray for Cuba

There are over one million Cuban refugees (legal and illegal) living in the USA, mainly from the white middle and upper classes and predominantly Catholic. Pray that they will not be victims of the temptations offered by the “free” society they sought so desperately. Pray that the Cuban diaspora might also find Christ and have a redemptive influence on their nation of origin. Pray that their faith might shape their views and approaches to their home country.
