Summary

Today on The Sword and The Trowel, Tom Ascol talks with Jorge and Yoandra Alvarez. Originally from Cuba, they share the incredible story of how God worked in their family while they struggled under the oppressive weight of communism, eventually bringing them to America and opening their eyes to the Gospel. They talk about the dangers of Marxism, expose some of the realities of living in a Communist country, and discuss the importance of being in a healthy, Godly church and the blessing of living in a free country.
