The Cuban Church continues to grow in the midst of poverty and hardship. The Overseas Initiative (TOI) desires to see it become self-sufficient, self-sustaining, and ultimately, self-sending.
Vision: We want to empower Christians so they can become beacons of hope and opportunity across Cuba.
Mission: We desire to see Cuba transform from within: by giving pastors, laypeople, churches and seminaries a boost towards self-sufficiency, self-sustainability and ultimately becoming self-sending.
Values: We value the Word of God and The Great Commission as our directives.
The Overseas Initiative was founded in 2022 by George and Keith Shamblin. Seeing the fervent faith of Cuban Christians compelled them to form an organization for the exclusive purpose of serving and supporting the Cuban Church.
