They shared with us their joy in living authentic moments of fellowship with couples they would not have initially chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\">For the couples involved in the CANA mission, it was an opportunity to serve their new brothers and sisters in CANA Welcome and to experience a little more of the joy of giving of themselves (decorating, children, cooking, testimonies, leading songs\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBring me water from your well; the good wine is for now\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"86511\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86511 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"86512\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86512 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"86513\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86513 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"86516\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image0.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86516 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In February 2026, CANA in Martinique launched the CANA Welcome program&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":86515,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,42],"tags":[],"country":[65],"class_list":["post-86519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cana","category-cana-universe","country-martinique"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
