Armando Rusindo Mission Foundation: Urgent Request - July 12, 2021
Cuba is currently experiencing a record surge of coronavirus infections as new variants take hold and medical necessities are in short supply. This is happening amid a severe food shortage that resulted from Cuba’s worst economic crisis since the fall of the Soviet Union.
The province of Matanzas has been especially hard hit as the Delta coronavirus variant spreads rapidly. Hospitals are overflowing and many deaths have been reported. Our Moravian friends there are pleading for our prayers and support. Medical supplies to combat the virus are scarce or unavailable.
The Armando Rusindo Mission Foundation has arranged to purchase medicine, masks, gloves, gowns and other medical supplies to be sent to Cuba. They will be shipped by air next week to the Cuban Council of Churches who in turn will make the distributions.
Our plea to you is twofold:
Other Projects: Currently the ARMF is working on two other projects that will take place over the next couple of months and will help address the food shortage in Cuba.
Please pray for and consider a donation towards these worthy projects.

The Armando Rusindo Mission Foundation has arranged to purchase medicine, masks, gloves, gowns and other medical supplies to be sent to Cuba. They will be shipped by air next week to the Cuban Council of Churches who in turn will make the distributions.
Our plea to you is twofold:
- Please keep our Moravian brothers and sisters in your daily prayers. Pray that that will get through this soon and without any long lasting effects. This is a very frightening time for them.
- Consider donating to the purchase of emergency medical supplies. Kits for patients will be made up containing enough medical supplies for 10 days at a cost of $12.00 USD each. We hope to raise enough funds to provide kits for 500 people, a $6,000 expenditure.
Other Projects: Currently the ARMF is working on two other projects that will take place over the next couple of months and will help address the food shortage in Cuba.
- Rice Shipment: ARMF is partnering with another foundation to ship two containers of rice to Cuba, and we are close to obtaining the permits to do so. Each container will hold 44,000 lbs. of rice. ARMF is responsible for one container at a cost of $11,000 USD. The rice will be distributed by the Cuban Council of Churches.
- Greenhouse Project: ARMF will soon arrange for the building of a greenhouse on a farm in the province of Camaguey owned by the pastor of the local Moravian church. The greenhouse will be 90 x 30 feet in size and will be equipped with an irrigation system. Cucumbers and tomatoes will be grown to sell to restaurants on a wholesale basis as well as retail sales to the public. This greenhouse will provide food for the community as well as operating funds for the church. It will be staffed and operated by church members who will receive an income for their work. This is most definitely a win-win situation.
Please pray for and consider a donation towards these worthy projects.
