Dear FBC Family,
2017 FBC At William Carey Baptist Church
The Compassion and Justice Team invites you to join us in a vital effort to support our sisters and brothers in Cuba, particularly our sister church, William Carey Baptist Church in Havana. They, along with many other Baptist congregations across the island, are facing immense challenges: daily blackouts, severe shortages of food and medicine, an exodus of young people, and relentless inflation.
How We Can Make a Difference
We have a unique opportunity to send much-needed supplies directly to Cuba. We're working with the Alliance of Baptists and Northminster Church in Monroe, Louisiana, to fill a shipping container with essential items.
William Carey Baptist Church has provided us with a list of their most pressing needs, including a wide range of items from food and linens to computers. To ensure these supplies reach them in time, we've determined the most effective way for our congregation to contribute is financially.
Please make your donation through the
FBC website by Sunday, June 1.
Our goal is $3,500.
Our staff and compassion and justice team will take funds from the love offering to purchase and send supplies on behalf of our congregation on June 2, ensuring they arrive at the Miami assembly point by June 10, when the container will be loaded for Cuba.
More Than Just Supplies: A Message of Hope
Your financial support isn't just about sending supplies; it's about sending a powerful message of kinship and solidarity. It's about letting our friends at William Carey know that we stand with them in their struggle, and that they are not alone in these difficult times because the love of Christ connects us across borders.You can offer a tangible sign of hope and love by donating today. You may do so via Tithely by choosing the drop down menu for Cuba Relief.
In Christ,
Marlan Golden, Megan Golden, Clayton Carmon & Jesse Seals
