Cuba Childrens & Community Outreach
Children will be the focus of outreach in a local home church format. We will provide support to the local church through participation in worship, crafts, games, sports and more. Kids enjoy being outside, so count on physical activity being a part of the week. Relationship building and encouragement are primary with both kids and local leaders. This opens an opportunity to share Christ with the kids and through their changed lives to impact families for Him.
During the day we will go into the community to visit and share Christ with adults. Evenings we will return to the same community to participate in the children’s ministry.
Cuba has been declared atheist since the revolution in 1959, but has gradually opened up to different denominations over the past 10 years. This has given us an opportunity share the Truth of the Gospel on the island.
You must be a member of Southeast Christian Church to go on the trip due to the nature of the license we obtain to enter Cuba.
Due to the flights into Cuba, the trip dates may flex a day either way.
