Hello

Aramis and Melvis Rodríguez are faithful servants of Christ, deeply rooted in the heart of Eastern Cuba. Aramis serves as President of the Eastern Cuba Baptist Convention and as Pastor of Second Baptist Church in Bayamo, Granma. With over 25 years of pastoral ministry and

8 years of missionary service, his life is a powerful testimony to obedience, perseverance and the unshakable calling of God.

​​

For the Rodríguez family, ministry is not a role - it is a sacred calling. Aramis passionately declares, “I am a pastor by calling and conviction…

I will not stop until I finish my career with joy.” This heart of unwavering dedication is lived out daily as he shepherds not only a local church, but a vast spiritual movement across the nation.

​​

What They Do

Under Aramis’ leadership, the Eastern Baptist Convention oversees:

 

• 708 Churches - Guiding local congregations in sound doctrine and unity.

• 280 Pastors and 1,300 Missionaries - Equipping and encouraging leaders to boldly share the Gospel.

• More than 10,000 Prayer Cells - Empowering laypeople to pray, disciple, and lead from within their communities.

• Seminary and Elder Care - Providing theological training and caring for the elderly through a seminary extension and a nursing home.                  

In Bayamo and beyond, their ministry reaches across spiritual and geographical borders, working tirelessly in a country facing extreme hardship. Despite overwhelming shortages of basic necessities, the Rodríguez family continues to labor in faith - trusting in God’s provision,  and witnessing His miracles in the most challenging circumstances.

​​

Why They Serve

​

Their “why” is rooted in love and devotion to Christ. In a land marked by crisis, they choose to glorify God by being a voice of hope and a vessel for revival. They believe that no matter the chaos surrounding them, the light of the Gospel will shine brightest in the darkness.
