Love Our Neighbors – Supporting Our Cuban Sister Churches

This April, New Hope is highlighting our sister churches in Cuba through our Love Our Neighbors focus.

We are blessed to have three partner churches:

• Two in the Granma region (Buey Arriba and Nuevo Yao)

• One in Santa Cruz del Norte, northeast of Havana

Right now, our brothers and sisters in Cuba are experiencing severe shortages of food, electricity, and medical supplies. While our Cuba missions trip has been postponed (with hopes to reschedule in October), we remain committed to supporting them through prayer, financial gifts, and practical resources.

How You Can Help:

• Pray for strength, provision, and faithfulness during an incredibly difficult time.

• Give financially to support the churches and their pastors.

• Donate non-perishable food, especially powdered milk.

• Bring medical supplies, such as:

  • Pain relievers

  • Antihistamines

  • Antiseptics

  • First aid supplies

You can drop off donations in the church lobby anytime in April.
Collection Sunday is April 27th.

Thank you for being a church that loves our neighbors—near and far.
