A terrific run for two weeks across three cities in Cuba: Camaguey, Florida, and Ciego de Avila.  We spoke for the National Youth Leadership Development Retreat, held in the city of Florida, Cuba.  Sectional, regional and national youth leaders from across the island of Cuba converged for the three day event.

In Ciego de Avila, we were the Keynote speakers for the Regional   Evangelism Conference.  The church was jammed with men and women from the mid-section of Cuba who are dedicated to evangelism outreaches in the local church and beyond.

What an incredible time with these heroes of the faith who face unbelievable difficulties in transportation, logistics, and often open resistance.  Yet they are a dynamic part of the engine that is fueling such  exciting growth of the Church.

The next week, MonaRe was the featured speaker for the National Women’s Conference held in Camaguey.  Over 1,500 women from every corner of Cuba came for the four day event.  It was exciting to see the main floor, balcony and the isles filled to capacity.  There was a real move of God in every service as other visiting ministers ministered and participated in the convention.

Cuba is experiencing a time of growth and expansion.  We have over 2,000 organized churches and thousands of registered workers in this vast movement.  We thank the Lord for the opportunities we’ve been able to accept to see this remarkable wave of spiritual awakening in this place.
