Cuban refugee to share at CWA meeting

Submitted to Branson Globe

Concerned Women for America Missouri’s Springfield and Taney County Prayer/Action Chapters invite you to their joint meeting on Saturday, August 20, 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. The meeting will be at The Library Center, 4653 S. Campbell in Springfield.

Keynote speaker for the meeting is Martha White, who will share about her family’s experience as Cuban refugees. Don’t miss Martha’s compelling story of her childhood in Castro’s Cuba. She was born to an affluent Cuban family; her father held a government position and managed extensive family properties. However, all that changed when Castro began confiscating guns and property, changing the currency to render money and investments worthless, and giving handouts to the poor, creating a ready source of followers as well as creating division as he convinced poorer people that wealth and property ownership, regardless of how hard the person worked for it, was bad. With their lives in danger, particularly her father due to his position and family name, the family was forced to flee for their lives and completely start over in America.

A particularly concerning aspect of Martha’s story is the striking similarities between Castro’s takeover of Cuba and the things she sees happening in the United States today. By sharing her story, she hopes to help Americans wake up and stop the rapid progression toward socialism and eventually communism.

Following Martha’s presentation, Taney County Prayer/ Action Chapter leader Haven Howard will share the mission of CWA Missouri and how to get involved.

A light brunch will be served at the meeting. There is no charge to attend; but reservations are requested and an offering will be taken. For additional information or to RSVP, contact Haven Howard at 417- 263-0425 or email havenhoward01@gmail.com.
