Pastors have little formal training in theology and no Bible study materials.
There is a great need for tracts and evangelistic materials . The church is growing and Christians are eager to evangelize. The United Bible Societies sends in an amount of Bibles each year. In 1998 nearly 325,000 Bibles came in, along with 172,122 New Testaments. These Bibles are allotted to the denominations proportionately, and remain in Havana until denominational leaders or local pastors claim them and arrange for shipment to other parts of Cuba.
