As Cuban economy sputters, evangelicals rise
By Shasta Darlington, CNN

Havana (CNN) For decades, Cuba’s evangelicals met behind closed doors, holding services in living rooms and converted garages.

But as the country confronts hard times, followers have come out of the shadows, turning to religion to meet both economic and spiritual needs. ....Since the 1980s, the number of evangelicals in Cuba has more than tripled to one million, according to the National Council of Churches.
