MISSIONS

"Central's Mission effort is founded in the words of our Lord in Matthew 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Our work is centered in 3 main areas; Cuba, El Salvador and Scotland. We support 18 preachers and teachers across the island of Cuba and have a long-standing partnership with the Tompkinsville, KY Church of Christ in the support of 3 others.

We partner with 4 other churches in the work in El Salvador and help to support an annual campaign in that country.

Central is assisting Scott Tominey in the Scottish city of Perth where a church has been planted recently."

Cuban Work Report: October-December 2019

Below is the work report from the Cuban preachers for the last quarter of 2019. As we reported last quarter, the economic situation in Cuba continues to worsen as the effects of the embargo are felt all across the island. Transportation has become increasingly difficult as oil has been almost totally cut off. Food and other items that must be obtained through the “free market” are more expensive than ever. The government has taken steps to try and acquire more U.S. Dollars and is allowing Cubans to possess and spend dollars for certain goods. They are also phasing out the CUC which is worthless in international trade and they will reportedly soon only use the Cuban peso or the U.S. dollar in trade. This has caused confusion and a rush to acquire dollars and serious inflation.
The Cubans maintain their natural optimism in the face of all these problems, and the church continues to be strong as you can see in the report of baptisms, restorations and plans for new work in the new year. Pray for this work and for these faithful Brothers as they serve God.

The Malawi Project

There is a famine in the country and people are hungry. They will also accept used medical supplies such as crutches, hand tools (not power tools); saws, hammers, screw drivers, hand drills, etc. Quilts, blankets, and linens are needed for the beds, and patients seldom can bring these items with them from home. Material for curtains and linens. Blankets and pillow cases. White nurses uniforms. Pens and paper. Individual bars of soap, wash cloths and towels. There is a contact page where they say they will arrange pickup. For more information: http://www.malawiproject.org/
CUBA Mission

Central's work in Cuba spans over 3 decades. It was started by our late Elder, Jim Camp and former minister Wayne Stubblefield. They were looking for a new mission field after working in Baranul, Russia for about 10 years. Brother Bill Stough of Tallassee, Alabama had gained entrance to Cuba in 1992 and found the Church to be alive and well although operating in secret after many years of persecution. The Elders saw this as a great opportunity for a new work and with Bill's help went to Cuba to assess the situation. God opened doors there and Central began to support preachers in Cuba in 1993.
The work there has grown to the point that Central has been able to support 21 preachers and teachers across the island. The Lord's Church continues to grow and thrive in Cuba with God's blessings and the hard work of the native preachers.
