JULY 2014 - CUBA MISSION TRIP

CUBA SHORT-TERM MISSION TRIP
JULY 18 – 30, 2014


Meet the team going with Oscar to Buenavista and the Youth Retreat in Remedios

Oscar, Mark, Elijah and Noah



Mark Laine - "Marco" - I am the father of Elijah and Noah who will be traveling with me on this Cuban Mission Trip. I work as a fire inspector for Salinas Fire Department. On my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, going on trips, hiking, fishing, and off-roading. I am excited about the Cuban Mission trip because it is a great opportunity to represent Jesus and our South Valley Community Church with my two sons! I am humbled to be a part of this mission and look forward to it's adventure. 

Elijah Laine - "Elias" - I am 16 years old and entering the 11th grade at Christopher High School. I love playing football, basketball, and soccer. I am looking forward to traveling to Cuba to spread the love of Jesus and share His good news! I also hope I will meet new friends and have a lasting impact in their lives. 

Noah Laine -  I am 14 years old and entering the 9th grade at Bellarmine College Prep. I also love playing football, basketball, and soccer. I would like to go to Cuba because I want to impact other people's lives who are less fortunate than I am, teach other young people about Jesus, and have lots of fun with my new friends. I also will appreciate all the blessings I have been given.  

Oscar -  I am excited about what God has in store for us this trip.  The theme of the youth retreat is Mission – Message – Motive.  Every day is clearer to me that our real purpose in life cannot be found apart from the mission God has given us.  And it is all interwoven by being created in the image of God; Jesus life, death, resurrection and ascension; the Kingdom of God; and our eternal hope.  We pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal this to the young people at the retreat in such as way that they will be joyfully energized to share the good news with others.

Join us in prayer as we embark in this trip.  Pray for Mark, Elijah, Noah and me; that our hearts will be open to being used by God to be a blessing to others; to adjust to the culture, language, food and heat; and for all the supplies to arrive safely in Cuba.

  1. I am praying Oscar, Mark, Elijah, and Noah will be the light that shines for Jesus on this gospel centered mission to Cuba! Lord, saturate yourself in their hearts and minds and clothe them in humility as they joyfully put the needs of others before themselves. Let every word and every action be from You Lord in Your Mighty Name! Amen! I am so humbled for this challenge for my husband and sons! May the Lord be your guide and defender! Love, Rosie
