Supplies for Mission Trip to Cuba

  • by: Catherine Pletzke 01/24/2012

Cuban Mission Trip - End of February The Hispanic ABF is sponsoring a drive to collect items for our upcoming mission trip to Cuba at the end of February. Many common items that we take for granted are hard to come by in Cuba. Many of the items are simple every day items; however we are also trying to collect items for specific ministries, as well as some items that would help them as they work toward establishing churches. A detailed list of needs is posted on the OD Website, and you will find a box in the Welcome Center to deposit all donations. We ask you to join us in living the gospel by providing for the needs of our brethren in Cuba, as we continue to share the gospel and equip them for ministry.  Medicine (pain, allergy)  Razors (disposable or electric shavers)  Toiletries (soap, deodorant, toothpaste, etc.) FULL SIZE - not travel or sample sizes  Feminine products  Band-aids  Ink pens  2 gallon zip lock bags (all previous donations will be assembled into kits for distribution) Other items include:  Clothing  Money to buy shoes  Water Filters  Small LED Flashlights  Flash Drives for computers  Plastic bags from grocery stores  Large, long duffel bags for packing items and transporting via plane Additional items specific to missions include:  Adult sized baseball gloves  2 cell phones needed  Batteries for Razr type cell phones  Egg shakers and other rhythm type instruments (see Jon Rice for more info)  Cake decorating kits more...
