Help Cubans Affected by Hurricane Melissa

Cuba faces serious impacts from Hurricane Melissa, and Proclaim Cuba’s local leadership is already mobilizing to respond with fuel, food, medicine, and water filters that provide safe drinking water after widespread flooding.

Your gift today keeps those teams equipped to move quickly, meet urgent needs, and reflect Christ’s compassion across affected communities:

$25/month or $300/one-time replenishes funds for basic food
$50/month or $600/one-time replenishes funds for water and hygiene items
$100/month or $1200/one-time replenishes funds to sustain pastors and fuel for local teams

From the Field:

“All night we have been following the development of Hurricane Melissa. We have heard cries and witnessed the suffering of our people. Pastors José LaHera in Tunas, the pastors in Pozo Redondo, and Pastor Reina in Jiguaní have opened their churches as shelters, and I know there are others who have done the same. There are many evacuated families whose situations we still do not know. Thank you for praying, and we remain attentive today to assess the situation.”
— Pastor Alamino

Our hearts grieve as we see the destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa in Cuba, Jamaica, and neighboring islands. We continue to pray for all those impacted by this powerful storm. Reports from Cuba have been slow to reach us, but our trusted pastors and leaders are already sheltering families, assessing damage, and sharing urgent needs.

Proclaim Cuba is Uniquely Positioned to Respond

Our network in Cuba is already moving to help. In a country where government disaster response is limited or non-existent, Proclaim Cuba is uniquely positioned to act. By using emergency ministry funds already in Cuba, we can respond within hours. Our pastors are opening their churches as shelters and distributing emergency food and clean water from filters that mission teams have brought in over the years. Your partnership makes that rapid response possible.

Our goal is to provide as much relief as possible for every crisis, and every dollar makes a difference. Will you help us replenish on-the-ground resources with a one-time or monthly donation today so we can respond now—and again the next time disaster strikes?

From the Field:

“It was a night like a fish’s mouth: strong winds, heavy rain, houses with roofs torn off, cracked walls, leaking roofs, and our church lost some tiles, but thank God there were no casualties. We must replace those tiles. Upon inspection, we realized that one of the church walls cracked and the wall foundation collapsed.”
— Pastor LaHera, Las Tunas

From the Field:

“We are well, thank God. Many trees have fallen and there is still a lot of wind. The city is badly affected with flooding, houses without roofs, people trapped by landslides, and cries for help. There is a lot of anguish and despair.” — Deina, Provincial Leader, Children’s Ministry, Santiago de Cuba
