Thank you for helping us equip Christian churches in Cuba!
There are 2 ways you can help:
Shipping items to Cuba is a costly endeavor. The cost of acquiring, storing, and exporting 20-40ft containers is currently roughly $4,500-6,500 US per container shipment. Once items reach Cuba, we must pay customs duties to the Cuban government for the value of each item.
When you make a financial contribution, 100% of your donation will be used to purchase critical needs in bulk and pay for direct shipping costs.
As a ministry of Gospel Baptist Church, your financial contributions will be deposited directly into a church account that is specifically designated for the Disciples For Cuba Ministry.
Gospel Baptist Church is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Currently, our ministry is entirely composed of unpaid volunteers.
Please send checks to:
Gospel Baptist Church
Attn: Disciples for Cuba Ministry

Bonita Springs, FL 34135
The Outstanding Church Requests on the right of this page show outstanding requests from specific churches in Cuba. You can fulfill the requests of a specific church by purchasing the items and shipping them to us! Simply tell us which church you purchased the items for, and we’ll take care of the rest.
If you don’t have any specific churches in mind and would like to donate purchased equipment, we encourage you to purchase and donate items (in bulk if possible) listed as Critical Needs below. We will make sure it goes to a church in Cuba that needs it.

Important Notes: Although the Cuban people will be grateful for items in any condition, we ask that all donated items be in good working condition as there is no availability of spare parts for any type of repair. Please note there are many items that cannot be imported into Cuba. We ask that you do not send items not specifically listed below. Items that we are not able to import will be returned to you. All items will be donated at no cost to the Cuban people. As our staging facilities and staffing are limited at this time, if you plan to donate a large number of items please contact us first so that we can coordinate.
