Cuba endures severe shortages of food and medicine alongside endless blackouts, thrusting families into deepening despair under communist rule.
Yet Christian communities stand firm, offering vital aid and spiritual strength, embodying biblical perseverance in tyranny’s shadow.
“People realize they may not have electricity for most of the day. In many cases, they receive only about an hour of power to charge what they need,”
reports Duane Friesen of The Voice of the Martyrs Canada.
“What will our country look like in a year?”
U.S. policy rightly targets such communist regimes, safeguarding freedoms as in Venezuela and Iran, upholding God’s design for liberty.
Believers cling to Scripture’s promises, aiding neighbors and resisting oppression with resilient faith.
Pray fervently for Cuban Christians, bolstering their witness for family, freedom, and divine restoration.
