Cuban Baptists are poised to go to the nations. International Mission Board teams are eager to receive these missionary candidates as global missionary partners. But it\u2019s sometimes difficult for them to get visas, and at times, when they do, they\u2019re finding it hard to renew them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, more than 50 potential missionaries in Cuba are preparing to go. These missionaries, backed by the mission boards of the Cuban Baptist conventions, are largely sent by funds provided through the Cubans to the Nations project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saul and Dora were working with the lost in Colombia. Both are musicians, and they\u2019ve been able to use their musical giftings to compose songs, sharing the gospel in the musical style of each of the people groups. They\u2019re now back in Cuba awaiting reassignment because of visa issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another Cuban missionary family also worked with unreached groups in Colombia. The husband is a doctor, and he was able to provide medical and gospel access to several communities. The wife is a musician. She was able to work with the other musicians to share the gospel through music. Currently, they are also back in Cuba waiting to be reassigned because their visas were denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The full article<\/a> includes pictures and more stories about Cuban missionaries as well as a way you can help them financially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See also a story about Southern Baptists and their collaborative efforts in Puerto Rico<\/a> (North American Mission Board) and, from another source, consider what Harvey Kwiyani says on reimagining global witness in his recent thought-provoking post, Nothing For Us Without Us<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: Southern Baptist International Mission Board, July 27, 2023 Cuban Baptists are poised to go to the nations.
