A vision born in prayer.
After several days of intense prayer and seeking God’s direction, a clear calling took shape: to live for the fulfillment of the Great Commission, taking the gospel to the ends of the earth.

THE FIRST GATHERING Fourteen people. One shared vision.
Fourteen people gathered in a living room in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba. Together, they shared the vision and took the first steps of what would become the Torch of Salvation Ministry.

A REGIONAL MOVEMENT A vision shared by many churches.
Several churches in the region joined the vision. The ministry grew into a parachurch model, uniting churches within a geographic area to evangelize, revitalize existing congregations, and plant new churches.

AN INTERNATIONAL STEP The calling crossed borders.
Encouraged by pastors and believers in the United States, the ministry took a step of faith beyond Cuba. Torch of Salvation International — TOSI — was founded in Vienna, Virginia.
Since then, the ministry has supported evangelism, church planting, leadership training, social assistance, and ministry infrastructure and logistics.

EQUIPPED TO MULTIPLY Local roots. A vision for the nations.
In the region where the ministry began, local leaders now sustain a growing movement of evangelism and church planting without depending on its direct intervention.
The vision today is to replicate this model in other regions: inspiring, mobilizing, equipping, and supporting churches to build autonomous, sustainable, and reproducible movements.
