For years I have prayed for God to give me a way in to Cuba. This opportunity has recently come.
Dear friends and family,
We pray this message finds you well. We are reaching out because God has opened a powerful door for us to minister in Cuba, and we feel deeply called to step through it in faith.
From September 12–16, 2026, we will be traveling to Cuba on a mission assignment focused on strengthening pastors, refreshing leaders, and resourcing churches that are faithfully serving their communities under extremely difficult conditions.
During our time there, we will be: Ministering directly to pastors and their wives, giving them a rare time of rest, encouragement, and spiritual renewal. Providing a full 12‑month salary for five Cuban pastors, allowing them to shepherd their congregations without financial strain. Installing solar panels on church roofs, bringing electricity to churches that currently have none so they can hold services, run ministries, and serve their communities with stability and light.
This assignment is deeply personal to us. We believe God is sending us to strengthen the hands of His servants and to invest in leaders who pour themselves out daily for their congregations. Scripture reminds us:“And let us not grow weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” — Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
We would like for you to be a part the Mission Trip as well. Many people are unable to travel on mission trips themselves, but they can still be a vital part of the mission by sending those whom God sends. Every gift, no matter the size, directly impacts pastors, families, and entire communities across Cuba.
We are raising $6,000 to cover our travel expenses, provide a full year of salary for five pastors, and supply the materials needed to install solar panels so several churches can receive electricity through the blessing we are giving together.
How to Give (Tax‑Deductible Donation) If you feel led to partner with us financially, donations can be sent through: PayPal: Evangel Temple
Please include the note:
“Cuba Mission Trip – James and Laura Richter” All donations given through Evangel Temple are tax‑deductible.
If You Cannot Give Financially we completely understand that not everyone is able to give monetarily. If that is you, we humbly ask that you would partner with us in prayer — praying for safety, strength, provision, and a powerful move of God as we minister to these pastors and their families.
When you give or pray, you are not supporting us from a distance — you are going with us. You share in the fruit, the impact, and the eternal reward.
Your prayers and support mean more than we can express. Thank you for standing with us as we go to strengthen the Church and pour into those who pour into others.
With love and gratitude,
James & Laura Richter
We love you.
❤️
