Ma Hammond H 1 Bob Bush Pri LaVon and Paul Hartman 1 Oward Stone, Bilizua ' rown rlene Gwen Paul and LaVon Hartman began their present labors in Cuba in June, 1948. They met with much opposition to the Gospel at the be- ginning of their ministry. Though many things happened, however, they remained faithful to their calling and now God has sent other laborers to help them. Three couples, Lewis and Tullia Miller, Bill and Toonie Heflin and Don and Margaret Smith, are their co-workers. The Open Bible Mission in Cuba has six churches, two of which are supporting their own native worker. The harvest truly is ripe in Cuba. and we praise God that He has sent forth these laborers into His great harvest field!
