Who We Are
“Our vision: With your assistance and contributions, we can give our Cuban brothers and sisters and the next generation, opportunities for a better future.”
Sister Church in 2007.
Sister Church today.
It all started when...
The Southwest District Mission Program, Inc. was formed from the parent organization, Methodist United in Prayer, and was backed by the Florida United Methodist Church Conference. On January 6, 2016 the status of the Southwest District Mission Program, Inc. changed with the approval as a 501 (c) (3) Non-for-Profit Organization. We are a nondenominational organization going to Cuba to assist “all’ of God’s children. The Southwest District has been traveling to Cuba since 1997. In 2007, Dan Christopherson and his wife, Janet, went to Cuba for the first time, and the experience left a lasting impression. In 2009, Dan took a leap of faith and volunteered to become the new District Coordinator.
Through much determination and many blessings, the program has grown into the Southwest District Mission Program, Inc. In the spring of 2014, the organization became a not-for-profit 501c(3) organization formed to assist and promote many challenges within the country of Cuba. With your assistance and contributions, we can give our Cuban brothers and sisters, and the next generation, opportunities for a better future.
