Most of you knew about our family´s trip to Cuba in the begining of the year. Then heard about me returning to Cuba for a set up trip for my church. That trip is happening soon.
A team of 16 people are getting ready to take an adventure for the first time on a mission trip to another country. The Majority of the team have never traveled abroad. This is the first mission trip as a our church gets involved in. This trip serves as a pilot project for future misison trips from local churches to neighboring countries in an effort to raise awareness on the need for the local church to get involved in missions.
Our trip to Cuba will serve several purposes, being the main of it the preaching and sharing the word of God in this Communist country.
For the Cuban church this comes as a refreshment on ministry as they see that countries like DR are interested in seeing the gospel being spread throughout the country. For the Dominican Church this trip will serve as a training in church planting in a semi- persecuted country.
Cuba is a poor country, people are restrained to live with what they can get from the governement. DR is a poor country too, where people have to work hard to be able to survive. so it will be easy to understand each other when it comes to bringing the gospel in difficult enviroments.
Having the same language and Culture and similar issues, the main differences between both countries is political.
Our team is ready to go and looking forward to seeing God working in the lives of the Dominican Church, in the lives of the Cuban church and in the hearts of those that will be hearing about the gospel.
Please pray for this team, Like I said this is the first time most of the participants ever travel outside of the country. Pray that we find the resources the Cuban church needs. Pray that we are good stewards of our time, money and resources. Pray for the spiritual fruit this trip is to bring. Pray that more churches in San Juan feel the call to trips like this, Both to Cuba and Haiti. I thank you in advance for your prayers.
