Cuba - The church of Cuba is a praying and joyful church. In 1997 a Covenant between the Florida Conference of the UMC and the Methodist Church in Cuba was signed to promote Christian friendship and mutual spiritual support and growth. Many UMC congregations in the North East District support a sister congregation in the Havana district with prayer and the interchange of laity and clergy teams. Inside are photos from Cuba Caravan trips to the Havana District.
Haiti - The Florida Conference-UMC Haitian Ministry Team and the Methodist Church in Haiti are involved in a direct relationship, seeking ways to provide assistance to one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, with approximately 80% of its people living in abject poverty. The needs are tremendous in all areas and many missions agencies are working to spread the Gospel and bring relief to our Haitian brothers and sisters in Christ.
Bahamas - A Covenant between the North East District and The Bahamas Conference of the Methodist Church was signed in Jacksonville on November 17, 2002, and in James Cistern, Eleuthera on January 31, 2003. Priorities of this agreement include the interchange of people as work teams, youth teams, preachers, laity, study groups, teachers and choirs. Inside this album you will find photos from previous mission trips to The Bahamas.
Habitat for Humanity International - HFHI is an ecumenical housing ministry that builds simple, affordable houses with God's people in need. The program is designed for families who are interested in owning a home, but who would not otherwise be approved by a traditional bank or mortgage company.
Guatemala - In September 2005, Rev. Jeff McClendon led a second team from Methodist churches in the Jacksonville area to Guatemala for work on constructing an educational building and conducting a Bible School for the area children. The churches represented were Dinsmore UMC, CrossRoad UMC and Calvary UMC. Between the February and September 2005 trips, Jeff's teams have ministered to over 1000 children in Guatemala.
