Immanuel Baptist has a sister church relationship with
the Second Baptist Church of Santiago de Cuba. The Cuban church is
lead by Rev. Elmer Lavistida. Rev. Huse from Immanuel and Rev. Lavistida
from Cuba have visited each others churches to establish the relationship.
Communications are regularly exchanged between the two churches. Immanuel
has contributed some money toward a building project in Santiago.
Immanuel Baptist regularly invites missionaries to visit
our church. We have been honored by the presence of
Taku Longkkumer
from NE India, Jill Lowery from Democratic Republic of Congo, and Mario
Morales from Bolivia. Immanuel Baptist gives special support to Dr.
George Win, a missionary doctor serving in the Democratic Republic
of Congo.
Immanuel Baptist joins with other churches in ABCD to support the
missionary work of Rev. Michel Bradley at the Church of Hope, a
church established within the Womens Prison in Pierre, SD.
The One
Great Hour of Sharing offering is received in most American Baptist
churches during
the
month of June. Gifts to this offering, combined with millions
of Christians from nine other denominations, serve far more people
than we
could ever imagine
possible.
