COVER PACKAGE

Cuba for Christ—Ahora!

The Communist island's improbable revival is 15 years old and growing stronger.

"It is the movement of God," said an Eastern Baptist leader whose grandparents spent decades praying for such a revival. "And the greatest revival is yet to come. In the end, we want to see all of Cuba for Christ."

Thank you for sharing the "Good News" of the young people of Cuba. They will be wonderful witnesses for Jesus. I had the privilege to visit Cuba a couple of times recently and will never forget the wonderful people we met at Varadera Presbyterian Church. Viva Cuba!

This article is really wonderful. I grew up in Cuba and experienced firsthand the oppression for being a Christian. Some Sundays schools had a mandatory "military training" for kids. I remember that the teacher stood me in front of the whole class and made fun of me becuase I chose to go to church instead of going to military training. I went to the next school training where they would teach us to use bb guns to denfend againt the US (in elementary school). My pastor was put in jail and abused. The goverment had treat it the people and christians badly, but God has always being faithful. The early church was also persecuted, people made fun of them, but God's Word continued to spread. Let's spread the Word!!!

Just want Castro wants- a thousands of fragmented cults filled with people too busy speaking in tongues to worry about earthly matters like Communism and freedom. It's amazing how arrogant and ignorant people become when they convert to the American religion: how can someone speak with a straight face about how the Gospel was only brought to Cuba in the 19th century? You people are testing God badly, I can tell.
