2023 Campo Amor - Cuba - Summer
Come join us as we return to Havana, Cuba, in June of 2023. We will provide support to the local church through participation in worship, crafts, games, sports, and more! The team will be encouraging local youth, helping facilitate summer camp, and coming alongside pastors as they reach out to their communities. Our partner, Campo Amor, is a youth sports foundation that includes a network of 36+ house churches spread across Cuba.
There are great opportunities and needs in Cuba. One obvious need is disciple making and Christian education. Another need is neighborhood support. We bring our skills and passions with us as we help in areas of light construction, cleaning, painting, and other areas as needed. In working together we bond Christians, both Latino and American, as we serve together. Cuba team members will visit house churches, pray for new friends, share stories and meals, and learn about each other. These lessons are what we bring back to our communities as we serve and grow in our faith.
Cuba as been declared atheist since the revolution in 1959, but has gradually opened up to different denominations over the past decade. This has provided us with an opportunity to share the Gospel on the island.
