Official press release from the Mesoamerica Regional Director, Dr. Carlos Saenz.

Today May 18, at 12:38 p.m. Cuba time, a flight from Havana to Holguin crashed shortly after takeoff. The Church of the Nazarene in the Mesoamerica Region confirmed that 10 pastoral couples from the church’s East District were on board. At this time we don’t have the any news on if there are survivors amongst our Nazarene brothers and sisters.

We kindly ask you to join with us in prayer for all families and friends of those who were affected by this tragedy. Let us pray for peace and strength in these times of turmoil, confusion, and pain.

May all the Church of the Nazarene family unite in prayer on behalf of our brothers and sisters.
