Baptists in Cuba unite in prayer, evangelism

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Four Baptist groups in Cuba are involved in a 50-day emphasis on prayer and evangelism.

The Baptist Convention of Western Cuba, the Baptist Convention of Eastern Cuba, the Free Will Baptist Convention of Cuba and the Fraternity of Baptist Churches in Cuba — all member bodies of the Baptist World Alliance — are having a special focus on prayer and evangelization that began on Easter, March 23, and will end on Pentecost Sunday, May 11.

"We will be united in prayer for our country and its evangelization," Cuban pastor Elmer Lavastida said. "A program has been set up and sent to each church to involve children, youth and adults in incessant prayer for 50 days. We expect great things from God."
