The story
Why Cuba.
Cuba is about 90 miles from Florida and a world away from it economically and politically. The people are warm toward visitors from the United States, many of them have relatives who emigrated, and God is at work across the island. Your team will join local churches in community evangelism, church planting, helping neighbors, and sharing the Gospel.
Our partner is the house church network of Missionary Alliance Cristocentro International, and the ministry is relational from the first morning. You will walk neighborhoods with local pastors, visit the sick and the elderly, pray with people, and worship with the churches. Much of the Gospel conversation in Cuba happens on front porches, some of it planned and most of it not, so your students will learn to talk about Jesus the way neighbors do.
Teams are often invited to baptisms, usually in a river or the sea, and to church dedications and events where you will pray, share testimonies, and encourage believers. Community sports events give your students another way to build friendships and share their faith. One leader who has made the trip ten times says that each time, her heart grows for the country and its people.
You sleep in hostel rooms with two beds, a private bathroom, and air conditioning, and partner church cooks feed you rice, plantains, beans, chicken, pork, and mangoes. Staff pick you up at the Havana airport and provide all local transportation. With only 20 spots a week, Cuba is a trip for a single team ready to go deep with one church family.

Logistics
Where you'll stay, eat, and get around.
Lodging
Your hostel is an oasis that makes it much easier to endure the sometimes hot and dusty days. A typical room has two, comfortable beds; a nice bathroom and shower; and air conditioning.
Meals
Partner church cooks prepare your meals. Expect rice, plantains, beans, yucca, chicken, pork, mangoes, guava, and wheat bread. Only purified water, drinks made with it, or imported sodas are served. If you have a special diet, plan to bring your own food.
Transportation
Fly into Havana or another international airport, where staff pick up your team. All local transportation is provided. You will arrange travel with a Missions Advisor about two months before departure.
Travel tips: Trips run Saturday to Friday from March through August in 2027 and 2028. Pack any special-diet food, and work with your Missions Advisor on travel about two months out.

Who Has God Called Me to Serve?
The island of mystery, revolution, and adventure lies only 90 miles from Florida. But this largest of the Caribbean islands remains as distant from the United States economically as it is politically. However, the hard-working people of this Third World country are warm and friendly, welcoming to visitors from the United States. Many have families who have escaped the poverty and repression to find better lives in the USA. And God is definitely working throughout the island!
It is our privilege to join the local churches who practice community evangelism and the establishment of new churches by loving and helping neighbors, and sharing the Gospel of hope, purpose, and truth with them. We learn so much from them, and share great joy in the experience!
What Should I Bring?
In addition to the packing list, do not forget your passport. You will not get very far without it!
Dress Code Policy
It is important to remember that when you are on the field ministering, you are representing God, Adventures In Missions, and local missionaries. Modesty is the key to all clothing you decide to bring with you. If you are questioning whether or not you should bring it, then leave it at home. Here are a few guidelines for clothing choices:
- Bring something modest to sleep in.
- No short, tight, or clingy clothing is permitted. This means no yoga pants or leggings.
- Sleeveless shirts and tank tops that are 2” wide are permitted on girls. No sleeveless shirt of any form is permitted for guys.
- If you cannot raise your arms above your head or touch your toes without showing your stomach or lower back, leave it at home.
- Shorts must come to the top of the knee. Capris and loose fitted joggers are great options.
- Skirts and dresses should be below or close to the knee.
- Make sure clothes are not stained and/or torn (except for clothes for painting/heavy manual labor). You do not have to wear your best clothing, but make yourselves presentable. It may be offensive to the locals if you look sloppy.
Ground transportation details are in "Where you'll stay, eat, and get around." above.

Peace of mind
Safety.
The safety of our participants is a priority for us. We have an internal Risk Management team and external Risk Management consultants. We monitor information from reporting agencies and rely on the knowledge of our ministry partners. Teams will follow both AIM safety protocols and location specific guidelines provided by our ministry hosts. Adventures In Missions (AIM) Mission Leaders are well-trained and experienced leaders. Their purpose is to plan, prepare, and direct your mission team. Your group leaders and chaperones are responsible for the safety and security of the participants under their care. AIM Mission Leaders will lead and advise the group leader on how they can best lead, care for, and protect the participants in accordance with their Mission Leader training, and cultural constraints for the location in which you are serving.
