Please keep our brothers and sisters in Cuba in your prayers as they continue their daily struggles just to make ends meet.  The food rations received very seldom make it though the month, especially those that live in the rural areas.  Assistance from family and friends is a must.  But one thing you most always see is hope and love.

Please keep the wife of pastor Aldo (Arisbel) of Santayana, Camaguey’ in your prayers as she is recuperating from Gallbladder surgery.  But, on a good note, the farm in Camaguey now has 42 newborn goats and 10 newborn cows.

In Holguin we have just completed another water system for the church and community.  This system will provide much needed clean water for hundreds of people.  (See attached)  Thanks to United Servants Abroad for making this possible as we partner with them on this project.

​So even with the struggles that face them many blessings are coming their way.

God Bless

ARMF SPOTLIGHT:
​EDUARDO & YOLANDA ALVAREZ

Submitted by Joe Jarvis
 
I first met Yolanda in October 2013 when I attended the Cuban National Conference. There must have been some 55-60 people in attendance at the time.  But, one thing for sure, Yolanda stood out in the crowd with her ever present smile and positive attitude. 

She and I hit it off from the beginning and have since built an everlasting relationship as brother and sister in Christ.  Yolanda was, and I guess still is, a well-known poet and author throughout much of Cuba, especially in her hometown of Jaguey Grande, Matanzas. 

She and her husband, Eduardo were the perfect couple. He too, was a well-known author in the country. I remember first meeting Eduardo when he was in the early stages of dementia.  He would always wear two watches for some reason I didn’t know, so I gave him the nickname of “Two Watch”.  

​Yolanda and Eduardo gave a huge part of their time to the Moravian Church in Jaguey working with the youth.  Even though Alzheimer’s was quickly entering his body and mind, Eduardo would be by Yolanda’s side every minute possible.
From June 20 - 23, 450 women for all over the Moravian world participated in the annual Moravian Women’s Conference  in Winston-Salem.  At the closing lovefeast on Saturday evening, an offering was taken up “in support of women’s work in the Moravian Church in Cuba” and a total of $ 4,688.46 was raised.  The ARMF has been entrusted to administer this fund and distribute it to the women of the Moravian Church in Cuba, as needed.  Many projects in Cuba will benefit from this amazing gift.  Thanks to all!

​
​We are closing in on the matching gift of $10,000.00 but still need your help. Remember that each dollar you give will be worth two.  

​We hope that you will help us obtain this goal to support our brothers and sister in Cuba.

As many of you know Bishop Armando Rusindo was in Winston-Salem this past weekend speaking at several venues.  What a wonderful time we had with him during this visit.  

I am pleased to announce that because of his visit, a wonderful matching gift has been made to the Armando Rusindo Mission Foundation.  This person will match all gifts in the next three months until the total giving reaches $10,000.00.  What a better way to turn $10,000 into $20,000.  The gift is unrestricted, although you may give to a specific project if it is one in the scope of the foundation’s support of the Moravian Church in Cuba.

I sincerely hope you will consider your gift as you spread the news with your church, Sunday School, groups and organizations that they may too donate.  We have many projects that are of great need.  So, what a nice time for this gift to be made.
I assure you that if your gift is made to our unrestricted fund it will be used in a most prayerful way to best support our brothers and sisters in Cuba.
