In a number of ways, Cuba is unique. Normally I would not request roofing for church buildings. In Cuba, local churches are not just places where the church gathers on Sundays. Local churches are the centers of community life. We are running feeding kitchens in the churches that still have roofs. The few that have generators are able to minister to their communities by being able to pump water out of community wells, charge phones, fans and lanterns. They can refrigerate milk for children, medications for the elderly, and keep some food fresh. Without a roof or a generator, it is extremely difficult to help.

Over the past month, there have been a series of country-wide blackouts across Cuba. These blackouts mean 8.5 million people are without electricity. They cannot store food, charge their phones, refrigerate medicine, or even pump water from wells. We, in partnership with Send Relief and the Eastern and Western Baptist Conventions, feed thousands of people through kitchens located in local churches.
