Luis is a cowboy.  But he is the kind of “vaquero”who is more into horses than cows.  He likes horses and likes to handle and train them.  In April he was handling a particular feisty horse.  Somehow Luis ended on the ground and the horse backside fell on his abdomen causing a lot of internal damage, as you can imagine.  When his good friend Adolfo arrived at the hospital, the doctors had pretty much given up on Luis.  Adolfo called the family to let them know of the extent of the injuries but he was hopeful.  “Do not light candles to the idols or start doing any kind of Santeria rituals.  I am going to pray and he will heal.”

And that is exactly what happened. Adolfo prayed and Luis’ condition improved. Not only did Luis heal physically, but spiritually he has new life.  Last Sunday Luis using crutches walked into the church to worship God and this time committed his life to following Him.

This is the type of ministry Aliento Cuba supports through the pastors in remote rural areas who visit people who are hospitalized, pray for their recovery and bring them food.
