The War On Cuba Documentary Tells The Story of the U.S. Embargo

HAVANA, Dec. 8th “The War on Cuba” documentary opens along Havana’s iconic Malecón, a long stretch of road winding along the coastline of the Cuban capital. 

A yellow almendrón, the affectionate term for old cars in Cuba, carries the film’s narrator, Liz Oliva Fernández, down the coast. She is perched on the back seat, wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat, and ironically carrying a selfie stick. Fernández’s dialogue debunks the romanticized vision of an idyllic, old Havana that the media often perpetuates.

Over Three Tons!

Glory to God, we have delivered 6,098 pounds to the warehouse in Miami! Nine pallets of medicines, medical supplies, four wheelchairs, thirteen walkers, ten bicycles, ten water purification systems plus parts for the systems. Sister churches in Florida drove three and half-hours to drop off items for their brothers and sisters in Cuba.

I want to thank everyone that sent funds for the purchase of medicines. This is much larger than Florida; funds were received from through out the United States and Canada. I would love to acknowledge all of you, but I just cannot because surely, I would miss someone. You know who you are, and I thank you so much.

Also, a huge thank you for the last-minute donor who is paying all the transportation costs from Venice to Miami... God is good.

 This is only phase one; the hard part lies ahead of us. Working with United States regulations, and the Cuba regulations, we need your prayers.

 I have already been asked; so, when will the items reach my sister church? I wish it were all that easy, it is not. My best guess November at earliest. We need your prayers every day. As we progress, I will keep you posted. 

In Christ,

Dan Christopherson
