Jessie—the first spark in Cuba

Cuba has the highest rate of abortion in the world. Sixty years of impoverishing oppression and lack of economic opportunity leads many to despair of their future. As hope goes down, abortion goes up. Jessie was about to give herself and her unborn baby to this culture of death. Instead she became the spark that fanned into flame the first organized pregnancy help service in Cuba.

After being trained by PassionLife, Dr. Annia Gonzalez-Cruz started a pregnancy help service called “Soplo de Vida” (Breath of Life). Jessie, pregnant and struggling with alcoholism, was among the first mothers rescued. She attended parenting classes, which led to her decision to follow Christ. With the birth of Jessie’s healthy baby, this rescue team witnessed first-hand how Christians can provide life-saving help in a life-changing way.

Today Soplo de Vida provides home visits, ultrasounds, classes, resources, and Bible studies to promote healthy parenting and godly living. You can help them fan this flame across the country.
