Here is a little information about Brian Stewart, the man who invited me to be part of his team in Cuba this March. He is a great guy with multiple talents, gifts and abilities, all of which he puts to work very enthusiastically. The following information is taken from his Cuba ministry blog which you can visit here.
Brian writes:
I have been serving with Action International Ministries (ACTION) since 1995. I am the Associate Director of the
Starting in 2000 I began making three or four trips a year
to Cuba .
I am also constantly in contact with my colleagues through email and phone
calls. The Lord has blessed the work so that I now oversee numerous projects.
Our primary contact and legal representative in Cuba is the
Iglesia Cristiana Pentecostal de Cuba, and we also work closely with the
Convención Bautista de Cuba Oriental. I have good friends in other
denominations as well, such as Lutheran, Pinos Nuevos, Iglesia de Dios
Ortodoxa, Iglesia de Dios en Cuba ,
Gracia Soberana, Evangélica Libre, Biblia Abierta, and others.
In 2010 we also began working with the national pastors’
organization, CIMPEC (Confraternidad Interdenominacional de Ministros y
Pastores Evangélicos de Cuba).
Some of our ministries include pastors’ conferences,
discipleship camps, marriage retreats, and scholarships for Bibles college
students.
These ministries are carried out with the approval of both
the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Treasury (OFAC) and the Oficina
de Atención a Asuntos Religiosos (OAAR). I am grateful that in spite of
political differences between the US
and Cuba , both governments
make allowances so that those of us who serve Christ may pursue our calling to
walk alongside and serve the evangelical churches in Cuba .
On a personal note, I am a graduate of the University of Washington ,
with a degree in Spanish. My wife and I have been married for 26 years and have
four children.
