Updates on Our Partner Church, Kerygma Baptist Church in Holguin, Cuba

Let’s pray for Bautista Kerygma Iglesia which is celebrating its 13th year.  They have spent the past 3 years emphasizing family ministry and strengthening the family.  This has not been limited to their congregation but has been extended to the community.  This ministry has included marriage enrichment which is an ongoing program rather than a single weekend retreat.  Groups of Hope termed Walking with God in Difficult Times.  These groups provide support and emotional therapy for those experiencing depression, stress, anxiety or issues of self-esteem.  Pastoral care for teenagers and their age-specific problems.  This is a small sampling of things they are doing.  The church is growing as a result of these ministries but as a result of the growth, Ernesto is not able to meet all of the needs himself.  Pray specifically for a person to help with the children and youth this summer and also for an associate pastor to help Ernesto and Marisol in the many ministries of this very vibrant church. 

Additionally, the Kerygma Church is hoping to have a music ministry for the youth this summer and would be interested in having used musical instruments.  We could possibly send some with another group going to Cuba if anyone has an instrument that is not being used and that they would like to donate.
