CUBA - Ammiel Pérez and Co-laborers
The New Road Church of Christ has the privilege
and responsibility of oversight of some of the work in Cuba.
At the present time there are six churches in Havana and five
of these are overseen by our elders.
In these five
congregations there are nearly 300 members.
Together with the Church in Whitney and the
Church in West, we also support twenty-five children in the Havana
area. It takes about
$25.00 a month to provide food, clothing, school supplies and other
necessities for each child.
All of the children are in Bible classes and worship
services.
The churches in Havana have several outreaches
including feeding elderly Christians, providing prescription
eyeglasses, a Preacher Training and Bible School, an annual Youth
Conference, a Ladies’ Conference and a Lectureship for all
Christians.
The work in Cuba is growing fast.
In 1991 there were nine (9) congregations in Cuba.
Now there are over 140 with about 5,000 Christians.
Hundreds of people are being baptized each year in Cuba.
Pick up more information about the work in Cuba
from the Cuba Booth in the Fellowship Hall.
