The Awana ministry in Cuba needs our help!
Cuba is a country with a population of over 11 million, with children under 18 representing 21% of that number (2,331,000 children). With a communist government founded on Marxism-Leninism, Christians are not allowed to hold positions of leadership in government, and as teachers, are pressured to teach the government curriculum only. Proselytizing (to recruit or convert to a new faith, institution, or cause) is banned by law and there is the constant threat of persecution by the government.
Public schools are government schools, and even Christian kids must attend them. All children are taught about the government and communism, and to get good grades they need to excel at these classes all while staying strong in their Christian faith.
Cuba is rooted in idolatry and tends towards African folklore and spiritism with much idol worship. While it can be a dark place, the light of the gospel shines brightest in that darkness! Through all the hardship and negative influence, a revival is happening, churches are growing, and many are coming to the Lord.
WHY CUBA?
In the past 8 years Leinier, the director of Oansa Cuba, and his missionary team have seen God move in a mighty way in the nation of Cuba! Going from 70 Awana ministries to 932, is evidence that there is a hunger for God.
In Cuba, there is a lack of many of the resources that we here in Canada have an abundance of, such as; medical supplies, hygiene products and something as simple as flip flops or footwear. We want to help our brothers and sisters not only with spiritual needs and development but help with some of their more basic and daily needs.
Would you help Leinier and his team by getting involved in our GO Cuba campaign?
“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”
James 1:22
