COME ALONGSIDE LOCAL LEADERS TO SERVE
People on the streets of Cuba

Overview


This beautiful Caribbean island is just 90 miles off the southernmost tip of Florida, but it is far removed from American culture or influence. Political tensions and distrust have isolated Cuba from much of the outside world for generations, leaving a cloud of mystery and intrigue.

Yet any misgivings about Cuba are quickly forgotten as soon as you meet the warm and welcoming people. The streets are safe and fun to explore. History, culture and natural beauty abound. The church, like other aspects of the culture, looks different than what we expect, yet it is vibrant and multiplying. It's evident what we share in common, not our differences, is what matters most.

Although travel to Cuba is restricted, Lifeline has had special permission to visit there for the past two decades to provide a broad spectrum of training to a variety of sectors. During that time, we've developed a close, meaningful relationship with Campo Amor, a youth sports foundation that includes a network of 100+ house churches spread across the island. Coaches and pastors team together to reach families in their community for Jesus.

Frequently Asked Questions Title
Where will I stay?

Accommodations will be at the Campo Amor guest house in Alomar, a neighborhood on the outskirts of Havana, Cuba. This includes 3 houses in close proximity that have been extensively renovated to provide group housing.. There are multiple rooms with bunk beds that share multiple bathrooms with hot showers, sinks and modern restrooms. Men and women are housed on different floors or houses.  Families can sometimes be accommodated together in a single room depending on the number of team members during that visit.

Bedding and towels are provided unless otherwise instructed.

If you are a light sleeper we suggest you bring earplugs in case you have a snorer. Cuba uses the same electricity as the U.S.  No adapter needed.
