Cuba / Josue Montejo / Gethsemani Church

Global Pastors and Ministries
Written By Jodi Rykse

Gethsemani Church is in the rural town of San Jose de los Ramos, led by Pastor Josue, and is one of the churches within the Matanzas Presbytery in Cuba. First Pres has had a partnership with the Gethsemani Church for many years. It is one of the only churches in this town and ministers to children, the elderly, and all who are in need. Bible studies, weekly worship, providing clean water for the community, and feeding the elderly are all elements of their service. We support this church with visits to build relationships, prayer, and an annual financial commitment.

Please pray for direction as they seek farm land to purchase to help the people with food and church sustainability.
