Leaders tearfully accept love offerings from Cuba Nazarenes
General Superintendent Jesse C. Middendorf brought more than a report to the Global Mission Team meeting last Tuesday
at the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center. Mesoamerica Regional Director Carlos Saenz accompanied Middendorf to present General Treasurer Marilyn McCool with love gifts from Cuban Nazarenes. Three envelopes were given
to McCool: a gift of US$110 for Alabaster, US$600 for Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, and US$120 for the World
Evangelism Fund.
Middendorf noted there are more than 100 Nazarene churches in Cuba with 510 preaching points. There are
wonderful signs of continued growth on the district with new churches being developed and organized.
The average salary for Cuban Nazarene pastors is just US$5 per month. With tears in their eyes, Nazarene
leaders expressed their deep appreciation for such sacrificial giving from their Cuban sisters and brothers.
February is...
alabaster month
