Cuba bound

A top the church in Cardenas, Cuba where we will be staying 5 nights

Saturday 18 Episcopalians from New Hampshire, 13 of us from Christ Church, arrive in Cuba for a one-week mission trip. Our purpose is to transport in our luggage medicine, other donations along with four water filtration systems. The trip has been in the works since our return last January from our first trip.

This is an important moment in the life of Cuba when there is uncertainty about whether the new openings from the U.S. will bring about real change in the lives of the people. I will be interested to see if there will be any noticeable difference in the hopes of the people we will meet.

I will be preaching in Spanish on Sunday at St. Francis church, where my son Will spent his Y.A.S.C. year. After five days in Cardenas we travel to Havana for the final two days. 

We invite your prayers for our safety and the success of this mission to be present with a people long isolated and living under difficult circumstances.
