Brad and Shelly had been global workers in Central America since 2004. They worked with Builders International and their focus had been hosting construction teams. Their focus was to provide church buildings to communities who may never be able to afford one. It gave a trained A/G pastor the tool he needed to really get going and do what God called him/her to do. Brad and Shelly’s goal was to incorporate construction, evangelism and compassion ministries.  When Brad and Shelly were at Victory for the 2023 Kingdom Builder’s Convention they told us of their upcoming change. By the end of March 2023 Brad and Shelly had all the approvals in place to make the change in ministry from Builders International to being full time workers to “C”! The people of “C” are suffering. Lack of food, lack of medicine, lack of fuel, lack of electricity, etc. This is not just a "poor" problem. This is a nationwide full-blown problem without respect of class or position. The pastors and their families suffer greatly because their income is dependent on the giving of the church. Please pray for Brad and Shelly as they are discovering different means of ministering to the pastors. They are finding in “C” that they must take care of the physical needs of the pastors as well as construction needs.  The Foltzes constantly hear stories of how God is answering prayers and He is providing, healing and delivering people.  American citizens cannot live in Cuba, so they travel in and out often hosting teams. 2025's calendar is full of teams in queue and they are so grateful to everyone who is willing to come to “C” to help with the great task of building the church and blessing a nation in great need of help.
