First Baptist Church, Montgomery, on mission

Seven people from First Baptist Church, Montgomery, went to Cuba March 4–12 on a missions trip led by member Troy Amster.

The team did construction work on a local Baptist church, led a women’s Bible study in the afternoons and held Vacation Bible School and a men’s Bible study in the evenings.

This is the 10th year for members of the Montgomery Baptist Association church to do missions work in Cuba and to partner with the Western Baptist Convention of Cuba.

“One of the biggest things we can do is encourage the body of believers while there,” Amster said. “They don’t have a large source of encouragement … just to be able to encourage the believers in that town that they are not forgotten.”
