2025
January 2025
C4C Ministries began the new year by helping pack items for Cuba. A freight container was shipped to Cuba with thousands of pounds of humanitarian aid, generators, food, medicine, and clothing for 13 Pastors in the Eastern Convention of Cuban Baptist Churches, their church families, and communities devastated by Hurricane Rafael.
For this project we helped gather supplies, helped pack the containers, and provided financial and prayer support for the shipments. These containers were received at ports in Cuba and a team of workers authorized by the Western Convention of Cuban Baptist Churches helped unload and distribute the contents to those in need.
Workers from various ministries stateside served together to fill the ‘AMA Cuba’ containers.
February 2025
Another freight container was shipped to Cuba that included 300 Lifeway “Magnified” Vacation Bible School kits along with Transworld Radio Solar Powered Radios, car and van repair parts, technology, audiovisual equipment, food, medicine, and clothing.
April 2025
A Your True Story Conference was held at the Baptist Church in Punta Brava, Cuba. Our team was hosted by Pastor Jorge Lienz, his wife, Reiselmi, his family, and leadership team. Punta Brava Baptist belongs to the Western Convention of Cuban Baptist Churches.
About 40 women along with church leaders from Punta Brava, Alquizar, San Augustin, La Concepcion, Santa Fe, and San Antonio Churches completed the course and were commissioned to be disciple makers in their circles of influence! All In Ministries provided copies of the Your True Story (YTS)book and Abel Morales, C4C Ministries’s in-country representative, had the workshop materials printed locally for the training conference. Each participant received a personal copy of the book, training materials, a YTS Certificate, and is expected to use them with the Bible for discipleship and gospel sharing in their circles of influence.
We were blessed to serve Christ followers who long to share the gospel and have a godly impact in their communities and their country. We always learn more about the goodness of God every time we run this training and it is a blessing to see eyes light up as truth, in context, empowers people to share salvation in Jesus Christ only, and make disciples of their fellow Cubans.
May 2025
A third freight container was shipped to Cuba with food, medicine, church supplies, tables, chairs, kitchen supplies, and Vacation Bible School Materials for use in summer camps and Bible schools all over Cuba.
October 2025
Yet another freight container was filled and sent south to Cuba with medical supplies, walkers, crutches, wheelchairs, bedding, adult diapers, baby diapers, food, medicine, pianos, electronics, and tools.
November 2025
Susan Freese, Mary Futch-Daunhauer, and Virginia F. Hansen, joined, Abel Morales, Idalmis Torres, Wendy Urbanek (IMB missionary to Cuba), Wendy’s daughter Laurie, Valerie Nieves (IMB missionary to Panama), Yudy Moreno Cidre, President of the WMU for the Western Convention of Baptist Churches, along with Baptist Camp Director Abel Enrique, and wife, Sissi, for a Your True Story Conference.
We served alongside women from who are part of over 500 churches in the Western Convention of Cuban Baptist Churches. We met together at the Baptist Camp in Yumuri, near Matanzas, Cuba, as part of the Annual WMU conference. The women in attendance at Your True Story conference came from the provinces of Artemisa, Mayabeque, La Habana, and Pinar del Rio. About 170 people were equipped and commissioned to go and make disciples in their Jerusalem, and in all the world.
Over the course of the three-day conference, we poured Gospel truth into hearts and minds, prayed and learned together, and committed to obediently follow Christ and teach others to follow Him, too. We give special thanks to All In Ministries for providing the books, to the Western Convention of Cuban Baptist Churches for providing great accommodations at the Baptist Camp for all of us, and to our wonderful local logistics and translation team, Abel Morales and Idalmis Torres.
Before we left Cuba at the end of that week, we received several requests to continue to provide discipleship conference training for others in Cuba. One of the requests is for a large interdenominational gathering to be held at Nazareth Church in Havana, Spring 2026.
Please pray about the requests we have received for more training workshops in Cuba.

FALL 2024 C4CM MISSION TRIP
November 14-20, 2024
Punta Brava Baptist Church is located near Havana , Cuba. The church has 34 members who have completed the 2 year discipleship program. They oversee 2 mission churches, 7 house churches and 2 missionary workers. Each week 150 people attend church sponsored meetings and activities.
Pastor Jorge Luis Lienz and his wife, Reiselme, started serving at Punta Brava Baptist Church in 2012 when they were students at the Seminary of the Western Baptist Convention of Cuban Churches.
The construction work began in 2008. A brand new sanctuary is needed because of the unsafe conditions and small capacity of the old sanctuary.
