Cuba - Summer 2023

Cuba 2023

Our team will organize a week of summer camp for elementary & teen students who live in impoverished neighborhoods in Santiago de Cuba. We will share the Gospel in word and deed while providing a holistic approach to demonstrate God's love to the Cuban children who attend the camp. Team members will provide spiritual nurturing through Bible stories, worship, crafts, games and sports. Most importantly, there will be opportunities for personal spiritual growth, relationship development among team members, meaningful devotions and worship time, and quiet times for reflection and prayer.
