In 1999 a Cuban Christian named Benito was visiting his aunt in Manitou Springs. He walked all the way to First Pres to be able to worship with brothers and sisters in Christ. A fellow worshipper greeted Benito and invited him to Becomers Sunday School. Through Benito, we met First Reformed Presbyterian Church of Havana, now our partner in Cuba.

This sister church has demonstrated their resilience and faithfulness despite many political, social, and economic challenges. We gain insight and perspective about what it means to live out a life of faith in a place that is difficult. God has used our partnership to help develop a prison chaplains program in Cuba, as well as a ministry to the elderly, and an English class outreach. Our yearly trips have allowed significant relationships to develop, which provide mutual encouragement and respect.
