Dr. Eduardo Gonzalez
Founder of Hope For Your Future originated as "adopt a hero" a ministry to elderly pastors who served during very difficult times in Cuba. We were able to give food and assistance during their final years. We also added assistance to other elderly as an outreach of our local church in Cuba.
We now feature children's outreach recently with 232 people and 167 children 65 accompanying adults. These children come from non-Christian homes and came to church by the party organized by the church. Between games laughter and sweets, those children were able to enjoy a healthy Christian environment, very different from the one they experience everyday in their respective homes and schools.
