Recent Mission Trip
Our mission trip to Sancti Spiritus, September 12-22, 2025 was a great success. The itinerary of our Cuban leaders is always the direction we follow, and this trip was no exception. The weather was not perfect, but in the tropics, you have to expect afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms. as well as the weather patterns in the Caribbean. We learned to plan tentatively and always remembered the key word on all mission trips: flexibility.
A new mission is being considered for 2026, however it will be designated as an invitation only mission. This will be Bill’s 40th mission to Cuba since 1994 and possibly his last. The goal of Reach Ministries International is to encourage others who will continue and possibly someone or more than one to take that roll. Superintendent Moises would certainly be glad to hear anyone’s heart about the future team plans.
These are 3 documents that are necessary to be completed by any person on any team traveling onto Cuba. We as Pastors, lay ministers, and individual team members must indicate that you are a Christian and part of an effort to help those in the Church of Cuba.

A greeting from our good friend, Interpreter and Youth Pastor, Lian Rocio of Cienfuegos, Cuba
Our mission November 30 - December 9, 2024, was a huge success. The Youth Sports sessions were led by Kyler Parks and David Wood and we witnessed numerous young men accepting Jesus. The Children’s Ministry led by Donna, Mayra, Karen and Isabella engaged the kids, sharing Bible truths, great drama, and prayers of commitment to our savior as well.
This Email message arrived from Lian recently.
Hello Pastor Bill, are you well? I hope you and Donna are doing OK. I’m very glad to announce to you that next Saturday, the 18th, our church in Cumanayagua will play baseball with a group of non-believers. Our team consists mostly of youth, young adults, and gentlemen from our church. We intend to conduct the game the same as Kyler did while we visited different locations and churches on your most recent mission trip here to Cuba.
We want to reach the lost through baseball games once or twice a month, Saturdays and Sundays in the afternoon. Please pray for us. God Bless!
