Hector Hunter
General Superintendent, Assemblies of God, Cuba

General superintendent of the Assemblies of God in Cuba, Rev. Hector Hunter, knew he wanted to remain at home to minister when he was only 17 years old. Now, after 28 years of various leadership roles for the church, he has seen the Assemblies of God establish 325 places of worship and nearly 2,000 house churches in his country. He is actively helping to lead the spiritual movement, as the Assemblies of God is the largest congregation on the island.

When his family left for the United States when he was a teenager, Hunter chose to stay in Cuba and follow the call of God on his life. He helped the local church in many ways without any thought to ever becoming a pastor. He served as president of the youth department and as an evangelist in the city from the local church. That is when the Lord called him to the Bible school to study for full-time ministry.

Hunter has pastored four churches in his 28 years of leadership and has been a member of the executive presbytery. He was a national leader of the Christ’s Ambassadors — the national youth department — and now is the general superintendent.

In the last 10 years, Cuba has multiplied its churches many times. Hunter and the Cuban church continue to be a blessing to those hurting and in need.
