Cuba was an atheist country during the Castro era. In 1960 Rev Naranjo spent two years in a labour camp for his evangelical preaching. Now, his church is full of life with 200 worshippers on Sundays, providing clinical care for disabled children and hosting a Bible study group. Across Cuba tens of thousands gather for evangelical worship every week even though the government still doesn't allow religious groups to construct their own houses of worship and have demolished church buildings. Presbyterian pastor Joel Ortega Dopica said, ‘There's a revival of churches of diverse denominations; all of them are growing, not just in the number of members, but in their capacity to lead and act in society'. Dopica is the president of the Council of Churches of Cuba, an official association of 32 Protestant denominations.
