By Andy Carlton Olivo

Why I left Cuba
By Rafael Cruz
(Father of Ted Cruz)
Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, embodies the American Dream. Born in Cuba, Rafael suffered under a cruel, oppressive dictator. He began fighting Batista’s regime as a teenager and was imprisoned and tortured – beaten nearly to death – simply to be free.
Rafael arrived in Texas in 1957 with nothing but the clothes on his back and one hundred dollars sewn into his underwear. He got a job as a dishwasher, making 50 cents an hour, and worked his way through the University of Texas, while learning English. Ted Cruz’s father then built a small business in pursuit of the American Dream.
Rafael Cruz became active in conservative politics during the 1980 Presidential Campaign of Ronald Reagan. He served on the Board of Star of Hope Mission and joined the State Board of The Religious Roundtable, a grassroots Judeo-Christian organization that had an important impact on the future of political dialogue.
Today, Rafael is a pastor based in North Texas and serves as the Director of Purifying Fire Ministries, which ministers in the U.S., Mexico, and Central America. He is also a professor of Bible and Theology, and the president of Kingdom Translation Services
