Iglesia Fraternidad Hispana is a house church with members and collaborators across the United States who share a deep love for missions. After a season of prayer and spiritual discernment, church leaders felt God's clear call to return to Cuba. Pastor Forte, moved by this call and a deep compassion for the Cuban people, has led his family on repeated missionary trips to a nation facing extreme hardship.

Cuba, often described as the poorest country in the Americas, struggles under the weight of an average monthly salary of $12, crippling inflation at 200%, shortages of food and medicine, and power outages that can last for days or weeks. The result has been broken families, deep loneliness, and a growing hopelessness among its people.

In the midst of these challenges, Pastor Forte's passion is unwavering. He has dedicated himself to finding and supporting isolated churches that have no connection to outside aid. His heart beats for the pastors and leaders who continue to serve God faithfully, despite the lack of resources, foreign assistance, or encouragement. Pastor Forte's vision is to come alongside these leaders–offering friendship, unity, and spiritual encouragement–so together, they can bring the life-changing hope of Jesus to every corner of Cuba.
