Iglesia Bautista DIOS es Amor, San José de las Lajas

Requested: 7/22/2018
Requested by: Samuel Rivera
Pastor: Dariel Llanes Quintana
City: San José de las Lajas, Cuba

This church is located in a densely populated metropolitan area. The pastor of this church is the current President of the Convencion Bautista Cuba Occidental (Baptist Convention of Western Cuba). This church’s facilities and ability to obtain equipment are much better than what you would normally see in Cuba. They consider themselves to be blessed, and feel as if they should not be asking for anything considering how blessed they are compared to other churches. We encouraged them to make their needs known anyway as this church and it’s members have been instrumental in helping us setup our distribution network in Cuba.

Currently accepting donations for our next shipment this year.

Our next shipment will be delivered in 2 x 20ft shipping containers. Religious materials cannot be combined with other goods per Cuban law and must be shipped in a separate container. As a result, we fill 2 types of containers and will ship them once they are filled. The cost of acquiring, storing, and shipping 20ft containers is roughly $4,500 US per container shipment.
