Pastor Gary Manning arrived in Cuba safely for his four day trip, representing Mission Caribe. The funds that so many of you gave has allowed the churches there to feed their neighbors for many weeks to come.
This will be an ongoing effort to support our brothers and sisters as they struggle through rougher times. As our government and their government struggle with one another, it is the people who feel the most day to day suffering.
But on this day in this community , a loving church body in a suburb of Havana is feeding children, throwing them a party in the midst of a storm they feel but have no control over.
In these photos you see Pastor Gary in his element, what he lives for every day. And you see the joy and smiles of children.
Here is what the pastor of the church wrote:
"Today we celebrate a feast for our God in gratitude for the many children God gives us so that we can teach them the word of God.
58 children gathered, and many fathers and mothers accompanied us. Thanks to God and to you for supporting us—we make this possible. Thanks and hugs, my brother and our family."
