An adventure waits for you in Cuba!
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.
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.
The Cuban church is its people.
The Gospel has been expanding on the island through the underground church over the course of the last 50 years. The US Department of State estimates around 10,000 house churches exist on the island, and Protestant churches have been growing at an unprecedented rate.
For the first time in 50 years, because of the embargo lift, the doors are open for you and your group to take part in what God’s doing in Cuba.
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.
This men’s trip will specifically work with PastorCésar Manuel Tamayo in Santa Clara, Cristo Centro International, helping him install a ceiling in his church. In addition, there will be opportunities to build relationships with members of the church along with great times of worship. While it would be beneficial to have some construction skills, anyone is welcome.
