Water Partners in Cuba Receive Solar Power!

Last Friday, solar power was installed at the Placetas Adventist Church. They began serving clean water to their community in March of 2020. Despite the challenges of the pandemic and regular power outages, they have served over a million gallons. Jorge Luis, a leader of the church, shared Friday afternoon:

The water is already being purified to serve! Thank you very much, sisters and brothers—thank you to you and to everyone who contributed to this cause, and above all to God, who moves our hearts. Despite the distance and borders, God makes us all equal. May God bless you all, our dear sisters and brothers. This Saturday, our church is holding a service of thanksgiving and consecration for this ministry. We are very grateful to God and to you all.
