Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers as we prepared to travel and minister to Cuba. Unfortunately, our trip has been cancelled. Part of our process of preparation was to apply for a religious Visa. This is what allows us to minister in the name of Christ to the people of the country. We have never had a problem receiving these Visa's. The Cuban government decided to close all religious visa's and travel from the U.S. into the country for the month of April. We were given the option to travel through Mexico to Cuba, but we would only be recognized as tourists and would not be able to work with the church or do anything "religious." The other factor in cancelling our trip was that our financial support did not come in in full. We are feeling blessed and assured at this time. We know that as doors are opening and great things are happening on Cypress St., we need to be here for them. We are confident that the Lord has great plans for us and that He had this planned for us all along.
As with any missions trips, there are expenses necessary in the preparation of the trip. For those that have mailed us financial support, there are four options in how to handle your giving:
1. We can return your check to you.
2. We can apply it to the pre-trip expenses: domestic airline tickets, passport processing fees, support letters/stamps and other minor team expenses.
3. Apply your donation to a future Cuba trip.
4. Apply your donation to the Cypress St. ministry
We will be in contact with you individually to see how you would like to apply your donation.
Again, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT! We will keep you posted with future Cuba missions trips.
