STATESVILLE - The Rev. James "Jim"
Reeves of Christ Boulevard United Methodist
Church traveled to Cuba on a mission trip
last week.
Reeves worked for the week with a network
of Christians that help churches in Cuba.
Called the "Cuba Connection,"
the network includes groups, individuals
and churches from various denominations
and ministries from various states.
The missionaries spread the Gospels and
provide food, clothing and other needs for
people.
Reeves traveled to Cuba through Canada
because the United States does not recognize
Cuba or allow travel between the countries.
He obtained special licenses through the
church for travel to Cuba -- for religious
purposes only -- and was limited to what
he could take and spend there.
Christ Boulevard UMC recently welcomed
Wilfredo Rodrigues Santiago, a lay minister
from Cuba, accompanied by Joel Taylor of
the Cuba Connection.
