Havana Mission Trip

I spent a week in ministry with Alcance Victoria Internacional (Victory Outreach International) Church in Havana, Cuba. Pastor Abel Hernandez and his wife Angelica started this church in 2002 in the living room of their home. They said the first 30 members of their church were former prostitutes, alcoholics and drug addicts. Their church is located in a garage-like room in the home of one of the church members in Habana Vieja (Old Havana), which is the inner-city of Havana. Abel and his wife reach out to young people who are on the fringes of society. They go out to preach to the "cucarachas" (cockroaches), which is what most people refer to them as and so their ministry usually starts after midnight most evenings.

The Photo: We spent a Sunday afternoon at the park after church with the entire congregation! This is a pic of the youth leaders of Victory Outreach.

Can't wait to go back next year! Anyone want to join me? Liz Matos
