Care Package: $6

By sponsoring a care package, you're  equipping individuals in need with vital over-the-counter medications, essential personal hygiene items, and uplifting spiritual literature. Your contribution ensures that care and compassion reach those who need it most.

Bible Workers: $25/month

Sponsoring a Bible worker in Cuba is $25/month. This helps cover their monthly living expenses and allows them dedicate their time and energy in spreading the Gospel. If you would like to donate to this cause, select the "Cuba, Bible Workers" fund.

Pulpit: $80 | Double front door: $130

100 pounds of beans/rice: $200/$100

Food in Cuba is still rationed and can be difficult to come by, especially by those in need. With your gift, you can help provide essential food items to those that need it most.

If you would like to donate to these supplies, select the "Cuba, Food" fund and in the Memo item which item(s) you would like to sponsor.

Bicycle: $190

Oftentimes, pastors and Bible workers have to cover great distances by foot in order to reach their churches and visit members and those in their communities. A bicycle greatly increases the distances and reduces the time it takes for them to do their work. Your gift will help the work in Cuba reach futher and be more effecient. If you would like to purchase additional tires for bicycles, they are $12/each.

E-bike used: $1,600/new $2,400

Similarly to bicycles but even moreso, e-bikes reduce the time and effort it takes for pastors and Bible workers travel.

E-trike used: $3,300/new $4,000

These electric vehicles allow up to 5 people to travel quickly and easily as well as carry small cargo loads. 

Simple pole church w/roof: $1,000

These structures are easy to setup and although simple, help provide a sturdy, sheltered location where people can come together and worship. 

Home Church: $5,000

The average cost in Cuba to purchase a home to convert into a church is $5,000. It is much easier and cheaper to start new churches this way and enter new areas by utilizing pre-existing structures.

Watch here to see how the home churches are being put to use!

New block church w/roof: $7,000

While purchasing a home to convert into a church is often cheaper and easier, property location and/or availability doesn't always make this a feasible option. Funds for a complete, new church provide all materials, both locally and shipped in, to be built and finished. These structures are completely walled and roofed and provide optimal settings for worship and fellowship.

Bible training center: $10,000

By contributing to a Bible training center, you're providing accommodations and classroom space essential for training Bible workers and pastors in the region. Your gift helps equip future church leaders with the knowledge they need to grow and serve.

Holguin

Holguin is the capital of the Holguin province in eastern Cuba. The church and conference leadership here have a passion for evangelism and youth and are putting all their efforts into reaching their region for Christ. Donating to this region will help ensure that work continues on.

Cacocum

Cacocum is a small town located in eastern Cuba within the Holguin conference. The church here is also heavily involved in local evangelism and youth outreach and seeks donations to help keep up with the needs of their extensive labors.

Santa Clara/Villa Perla Mission

Santa Clara is in central Cuba and is the capital of the Villa Clara province. The church here is also the center of the newly-formed Villa Perla conference.
