IPRC RICARDO JORGE, PERICO

The Presbyterian-Reformed Church in Cuba (IPRC), established in 1890, and the Presbyterian Church (USA) have engaged in mutual mission partnership since the Cuban denomination became a solely Cuban-run institution in 1967. Our congregation’s mission partners are the IPRC Ricardo Jorge in the town of Perico. Our mutual mission work centers on the following:

• Meals for seniors – IPRC Ricardo Jorge participates in the denominational effort to ensure that seniors in their community who do not have local relatives or caretakers get enough to eat. The church runs a chicken coop, raises rabbits, and grows produce in its compound to feed the community.

• Clean water – IPRC has a Living Waters for the World water filtration system that provides clean water to the whole town.

• Worship, fellowship, and connections – When we visit our partners, we worship together, share meals together, and even take a bus with the congregation to the beach for a day of fellowship. When we are apart, we communicate through WhatsApp, email, and Facebook.
