Cuba HistoryBy Michelle HennessyMarch 16, 2020

Since that first visit in 2008, Jane Boxell has led several PCWS groups on nearly annual trips to Nueva Paz, a small rural community approximately 40 miles southeast of Havana.  Fundamentally a “relational” partnership, regular visits and personal interaction are essential to growing and deepening the partnership, as are the basics of sharing our faith Read More
