Joy during the month of Febru-
ary. i
The brick-stucco church is lo-
cated: at Cuatro Caminos, Hab-
ana Providence, Cuba. Although
it had been standing idle since
1947, there was a small group
of villagers who kept praying
for someone to help open the
church again.
Their pravers were answered
when the Rev. A. J. Baughey of
Pontiac. Michigan was traveling
through the village in search of
a church that could be rebuilt
about a year ago. The Rev. Har-
ry Hock of Detroit was with the
party at that time and sent out
a eall for workers.
