Cuba Mission Partners:                 Nuevo Renacer (Born Again!), Holguin

Members of our congregation have been involved with Cuba Mission Partnerships since 2012. The parish sponsors the Rev. Ramiro Godalez & his wife, Eva, while Pastor Barclay & Mary Mayo contribute annually to the Cuba Diocese.  The average Cuban family income is about $36 CAN per month; as the economic situation in Cuba has opened up, commodities have become more expensive yet incomes are not rising at the same rate. In many families, both partners have to work 2 or 3 jobs just to survive. Many in the community also have difficulties accessing clean water.  Our Canadian and US sponsorships provide clean water and sufficient food and medicines to keep the pastors and their families healthy and allow them to minister in their communities.  The Cuban Mission is working on providing community water filtration systems and making sponsored med packs available to local doctors.  While Cuba has an excellent medical system, access to even basic drugs is limited.
