Cuba para Cristo - Cuba for Christ
Giving to Cuba para Cristo
Cuba para Cristo is entirely funded by the giving of ordinary Christians. Our budget is shared between the various projects and is all focussed on grass-roots gospel work in Cuba. The team give their time for free and our admin cost are almost zero.
Given that the average wage is £10 a month in Cuba, a little goes a very long way. But we desperately need to encourage more regular giving as well as the one off donations & fundraisers which we mostly run on. If you are looking to support us, please consider setting up a regular standing order.
Regular giving particularly enables us to support gospel workers. Many Cubans are sensing a call from God to dedicate their lives to full-time gospel ministry. CpC is supporting over 35 gospel workers in Cuba, sending a regular £17/month, which is sufficient to provide for them and their family.
Alternatively, here is some idea of how far one-off gifts might go:
- £20 would sponsor a theological book in Spanish for a seminary;
- £50 would buy a bicycle for a pastor (or a couple of goats, to enable them in time to be self sufficient in milk and meat);
- £300 would give a grant of £10/each to those leaving Bible college/seminary - to help them get established in their new pastorate (there are some 30 seminary students graduating each June from the two evangelical seminaries we support);
- £1,000 would enable a pastor & part-time lecturer at a seminary to run 6 "local seminary" training courses for 40 people a time. Each one would seek to support local, lay workers in their ministry of the word (it would provide for the lay pastor's travel & food for the day, plus other local costs);
- £5,000 would buy materials for a pastor's house (which could be built on top of an existing church building) - thus enabling a community to appoint a residential pastor.
How To Give
If you are a UK taxpayer, it's best to give via our partners Latin Link, who help us to claim tax back on donations so we receive an extra £2.20 for every £10 you give. Fill in this form from their site and send it off to the address at the bottom. Please write "Cuba para Cristo" in the top empty space, or else it will simply go into their general fund. They also accept other forms of payment; see their site for more details.
If you are not a UK taxpayer, then you can make one-off or regular payments into our bank account. If that's not possible for some reason, you can also send a cheque, made payable to "Cuba para Cristo", to the CpC Treasurer. Contact us for bank account details or the Treasurer's address.
Many thanks!
