Episode #129
This episode discusses the current persecution that Christians in Cuba are facing from the government today. After Raul Castro took over from Fidal Castro, the country loosened some restrictions on its people, but kept tight control with a goal of "perfecting socialism." A more recent change in leadership to Miguel Diaz-Canel has not come with improvements. Although the leadership is more concerned with its global reputation, religious persecution continues to grow. By the grace of God, the gospel continues to spread in Cuba even amidst the persecution.
