<\/a>A word from Rafy. How did God impact your heart while in Cuba? <\/em><\/strong>\u201cIn February 2018, God allowed me to visit Cuba to do what I thought was a very specific and limited task. God had a different plan for me. He wanted me to see what He sees, hear what He hears<\/strong>\u2026experience His unlimited grace and love He has for these people. The overwhelming response<\/strong> from pastors, seminarians and ministry leaders continues to flow and lead us to fulfill the needs of these fathers who yearn for His word and discipleship.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n
