Cuba Appeal
Cubans are now experiencing the gravest economic crisis in 30 years. With food and medicine in short supply and available goods priced beyond the reach of most people, our Presbyterian family there (the Presbyterian Reformed Church in Cuba) has an urgent need to assist its 60 congregations - most of which are found in small towns with few resources - to meet their basic needs.

In addition, when the Pediatric Hospital in Matanzas reached capacity at the end of June, our seminary partner there, the Evangelical Theological Seminary, was asked to open their large dorm to accommodate the overflow of children who were testing positive from Covid-19 and a family member for each child. This facility is now running at full capacity and, each day, the kitchen staff feeds 140 patients and medical personnel. Although the government supplies food, the seminary is needing to cover kitchen and cleaning staff plus utilities, such as water and electricity, which have both risen in cost by more than 130%.
In response, The Outreach Foundation is seeking support for our partners in Cuba to aid during this time of crisis.
Engaging followers of Christ for His work in the world, the
Outreach Foundation is committed to helping the church live out its missional calling, building the capacity of the global church, especially where the church is vulnerable or growing rapidly, and transforming lives through mission involvement.
