Shepherding the Flock

What is the greatest need of the church in Cuba? 

“Their greatest need is hope,” Global Action Director of the Caribbean, Yuniel Cruz, states simply. While Cubans are coming to faith in droves, “the people are living in desperation and poverty, sickness, no hospital, limited medicine. The church is an answer for many people who need it. The church also is a place for joy, to hear and see something different than bleakness around them. Church offers programming for children and elderly, stocking basic medicine. The church is the answer for many of these needs.”

The churches where Global Action has equipped leaders are intentional to take care and provide for not only physical needs, but also spiritual needs. The church has the good news for people living in isolation and poverty: His name is Jesus Christ.

The explosive church growth in Cuba urgently necessitates trained leaders. 

The ABCs at the heart of Global Action’s program are to be accessible, biblical, and contextual. We equip leaders with no access to theological training so that they can be powerful ministers of the gospel in their own communities. These indigenous shepherds know their own flocks, and with your support they are able to feed and guide their flocks in faithful Christlikeness.
