Current Projects

Food & Evangelism Ministry to Cuba

Abundant Life is partnering with Jeff Custer to assist local Cuban churches that are actively reaching the lost for Christ.
Jeff Custer is in charge of 15 churches in central Cuba. The churches are in rural areas, where people are poor. The pastors struggle to provide for their families, which makes it difficult for them  to stay in full-time ministry. To assist, Jeff has been purchasing food for them every week, along with data for their cell phones. When Jeff and his team have visited, they brought cash, clothing & shoes. Last spring, they were able to help a lead pastor purchase a vehicle . Jeff says it is a joy to work alongside the Pastors in Cuba because though they have little, they are filled with the joy of knowing Christ.

Meet the Missions Team

Ryan Post

"As the hands and feet of Jesus, I've always had a passion for carrying out the love of our Father through building relationships, exposing to His word, and his limitless ability to work miracles through all circumstances. God has moved mountains within our church body and it has been truly a humbling experience to help connect our church body to other brothers in sisters in Christ in need around the globe."  
"The reason why I wanted to be a part of the Mission Board is that God always gave me the heart to serve people in the Mission Field."
