More than the warm, inviting Caribbean Sea…
More than the mouthwatering taste of freshly baked island bread…
God’s living water and the fire of His Holy Spirit calls to us from Cuba!
Suntree UMC has a covenant with two Methodist Churches in Cuba. Their members have become “our” family, and we are “theirs.”

t this event, we will hear stories of transformation happening in churches across Cuba. Our keynote speaker will be Sam Martinez, Chairperson of the C.U.BA (Christians United By Amor) Ministry (CubaMinistry.org). CUBA Ministry works to connect US churches of various denominations to Methodist Churches in Cuba. They send mission teams, support pastors, partner with churches, and build bonds of Christian fellowship. Sam also served as the Chair of Methodist United In Prayer and spent seven years as Guantanamo’s District Coordinator. His missionary background began in the 1990's, with "Youth with a Mission”, leading evangelism teams throughout South America, Asia, and the South Caucasus. Sam also leads an investment advisory firm and M&A consulting firm. He has a wonderful wife; they have been married for 26 years and are parents to 2 incredible young men.
During the dinner, we will also be collecting over-the-counter medications such as pain relievers, vitamins, mosquito repellent, and Imodium.

How You Can Help Churches in Cuba:
Pray for the people of Cuba and our sister churches! Pray for their health, their daily struggles, that they will have enough food to feed their families today, and for the spiritual and political leaders in both our countries.
Provide Supplies: Our teams take suitcases of over-the-counter (OTC) medications and many other needed items on the annual trips to Cuba (usually in January). You can bring your donated items to a committee member or the church office. Please make sure it is marked ‘Cuba Missions’. Please note that we cannot accept prescription medications and that OTC medications cannot expire before the next January, since expired medications cannot be brought into Cuba.
Support financially: Our Cuba Mission Dinner and Fundraiser is the best chance to learn more about the work of churches in Cuba and to support their missions. We also accept and appreciate donations throughout the year. If you would like to donate cash or write a check, you mail it to, or drop it off, at the church office, or put it into the offering on Sundays. Please make sure your donation is marked ‘Cuba Missions’. Thank you for your continued support and please know that travelers to Cuba pay for their own travel, lodging and meals, so that every penny donated goes directly to support our Cuba Missions.
Make a gift towards Cuba MissionsMembership: Prospective members are always welcome to attend monthly Cuba Mission meetings on the second Thursday of each month at 7pm in Room 101/102.
