Good Friday

I started my journey today going to one place (Santiago de Cuba) and ended up in Guantanamo! Not to be detained but to worship with the Methodist Church here. Six year ago it had a membership of 700 now it is close to 1400. In greeting the congregation. Without thinking I announced "Cristo Vive" - Christ is alive. The response was one of the loudest hallelujah's I have ever heard. This was followed by what seemed an eternity of applause. Like Calvary this place has become well known for cruelty done in the name of the people. The place of cruelty Calvary was outside a city, as it is here. In Guantanamo, as in Jerusalem " Cristo Vive".

PS. Today is a normal working day in Guantanamo, Cuba, there were no empty seats in the church " Cristo Vive".
