Partners and Friends,
Our leadership team in Cuba continues to endeavor to set up the evangelism, church planting, and discipleship program in 3 new districts. They are working directly through the Superintendents’ offices.
Exploring Opportunities in Southeast Asia
In March, I traveled to South East Asia to look at the possibility of establishing a similar model to what we are doing in Cuba. We began in Thailand, where we met our contact, and then traveled the following day to Cambodia.
The missionaries and contacts in much of South East Asia operate mostly underground, so in many cases you have to go there and find them. We met a Presbyterian woman who was reaching Buddhists through an elementary school she founded. They teach English and regular studies during the week, and once a week they teach from the Bible. They have about 150 children during the day and 100 part-timers at night.
She introduced us to an Assemblies of God Pastor. Though we could not find him online, he agreed to meet with us briefly before visiting his sick father. It turns out he was the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God for all of Cambodia. This is a miraculous connection, and if we move forward in Vietnam, we can easily set up ministry in Cambodia with his help.
Opportunities in Laos & Vietnam
After Cambodia, we traveled to Laos (a 10-hour drive). There we met a Christian businessman and are considering the possibility of placing missionaries in the country.
Next, we traveled to Vietnam for 5 days. We met with the leadership team of an Evangelistic Association overseeing about 100 churches. Vietnam is a communist country with a unique history, but doors are opening for us to return and begin planting churches with a missions team.
The leadership in Vietnam would like us to begin with 4 part-time church planters at $150 per month each. They also need a Supervisor/Secretary for $200 per month. In total, it would cost about $800 per month to launch this ministry. Additionally, churches there can be built for $5,000–$7,000, allowing us to transform remote thatched-roof structures into block churches.
Cuba Leadership Training
The ministry is believing God for $2,000 to cover the costs of our leadership team in Cuba to travel to the 3 districts and conduct training to enhance the Evangelism, Church Planting, and Discipleship programs. They plan to travel once a month for 6 months.
