CUBA MINISTRY
|
|
The Methodist United in Prayer (MUIP) mission team just returned from a fruitful and awe-inspiring trip to Cuba. One of the districts that our team visited was Sierra Maestra to assess the damages caused by the recent earthquake on the different churches in that district. You can read about the report here.
|
Duranona’s pastoral home walls and other parts that were affected can be repaired and the temple needs much work. Although the team left some donations for the home repair an additional $1,000- $1,500 would be needed for the rest of the work in the temple.
|
|
Thank You Wesley for your faithful support of our Cuba Sister Churches. If you would like to contribute to their rebuilding effort, please place marked contribution in offering plate or bring by the office.
