Before we get into the details of what a mission experience to Cuba is like, please allow me to share with you that a mission trip to any part of the world is a blessing, BUT a mission experience to a communist country is a once in a lifetime experience that you will never forget for as long as you live!
So let’s begin by me asking you to forget about how things happen in the USA. The way we see and experience life in our hometown is not the way things happen in Cuba. You have to understand that you are coming to a communist country where NOTHING makes sense, but everything is POSSIBLE.
If you feel you are coming to be a blessing to others, you will be positively surprised to find that it’s exactly the other way around. You and I will return inspired, transformed, and changed in such a way that your perspective on life will be completely different because of the faithfulness and resilient spirit of the people you will meet during this different type of mission experience.
Special greetings! If you have joined us in the past on a thrilling mission experience to the last communist country in the western hemisphere, Cuba, you know how special this experience will be, and if you haven’t had the opportunity, you are bound for the experience of a lifetime!
Cuba is a very complex and unique country, full of loving people. While it is difficult to understand their way of life in terms of survival, the experience among them will change every part of your heart and soul.

PUERTO RICO
A Caribbean country within the United States: the Island of Enchantment where no passports of any kind are needed!
An island 100 miles long and 35 miles wide at the widest point. You can drive around Puerto Rico in 3 hours. Despite being such a small island, Puerto Rico holds an impressive list of world-renowned musicians, a very large number of Miss Universes, one of the brightest NASA engineers, and many star athletes.
Most people in Puerto Rico speak English, so language is not a problem when traveling there. However, you will be surprised to see how fast you can speak Spanish, especially if you need Agua (water), Comida (food) or El Baño (the bathroom).
Your cell phone will work perfectly well in Puerto Rico, so you will be able to communicate with friends and family in an instant.
Most people in Puerto Rico are Christians who love to share their faith and their happiness that comes from their loving hearts.
CPL International brings most of their groups to stay in El Yunque, one of the largest national rain forests in the United States, located in Luquillo, Puerto Rico.
There is a large menu of activities that will be available to you and your group like: beach cleaning, playing sports with other young people from the local community, sharing bible stories with local congregations, rebuilding the local camp facilities
playing musical instruments
teaching computer skills, and a lot more.

English is the main language of the Bay Islands in the country of Honduras, named Roatan and Utila. However, Spanish is also spoken on both islands. Most people recognize the island of Roatan that is 65 kilometers long as one of the world’s top destinations for Scuba Diving.
Its sister island of Utila is extremely charming, with a population of 4,000 people. However, on both islands, there isn’t enough medical or nursing staff to cover the necessities of the islands’ family health centers, of which there are only two.
To give you an idea of the scope of this issue, one of those medical centers within the island of Roatan located in “flowers bay” has just a medical student and a nursing student to cover approximately 7,000 people that live in the area.
Some of the most common diseases: Arterial Hypertension – Bronchial Asthma – Gastroesophageal Reflux – Vaginal Yeast Infections – Onychogryphosis – Prurigo from insect bites, among others.
Some of the most needed medication in the Honduras Bay Islands are: Omeprazole – Loratadine for Adults and Children – Acetaminophen – Hydrochlorothiazide – Metronidazole – Losartan – Ibuprofen – Clotrimazole Vaginal Cream -Vitamins for adults and children – and much more.
Participants stay at the facilities of the Henry Morgan Beach Resort located on the West End, which is a great place to relax after a long day of work
The entire group will be divided into small teams. Each team will be designated to a particular medical clinic, and every morning your team will travel to your group’s pre-arranged location.
