Here at The Overseas Initiative, humanitarian relief is a pillar of our ministry efforts. Often, we have to prioritize philanthropic projects that help as many people as possible with as little cost as possible. However, when we can offer large gifts for families, we wholeheartedly pursue these gifts. Thanks to the generosity of one individual, we were able to provide Christmas dinners for twenty-five families in Santa Clara this Christmas!

Dear pastor George and the rest of the team of The Overseas Initiative,
My husband and I are so thankful for your desire to bless us with such a generous offering. We really appreciate it and receive it as a gift from the Lord, specially in this moment of the year. Thank you so much. May the Lord continue to bless you abundantly and use you for His glory and the extension of His kingdom. I feel honored for having been part of the team last October. It was such a privilege. I hope there will be new opportunities to share the gospel together.
Greetings and love in Christ,
Samuel and Yanet.

Good morning, Niurka.
I want to thank God for the help I have received and the Church has received through you.
God always amazes me with His Grace and Love, I did not expect that offering and much less that amount, Hallelu-YAH!!!!!!!. I thank Him for each one of you, He will reward all the effort you have made and do for others, above all, for the Universal Church of the King of kings, our Lord.
Many Blessings to all and may it be a beautiful end of the year and a 2025 full of His Glory and for His Glory.
A hug in His Love. Shalom!!!!!!!
Dear brother, a few days ago Niurka gave us the generous offering on your behalf.
What an unexpected surprise!
It has been a very timely gift, thank you for thinking of us, thank you for serving as an instrument for God's work in Cuba. We pray for you, may the Lord guide you in every mission you carry out.
A big hug from your Cuban brothers Fide and Yeni
Thanks to our team in Cuba, we were able to get photos of each family that was blessed with a gift. These photos are truly a snapshot of the people we help in Cuba and who help us with our ministry there. We are blessed to know them and overwhelmed with joy that this Christmas, through the kindness of others, we could be a blessing to them.
