Rafael Cruz, father of US Senator Ted Cruz, pastor of a Dallas church and director of North Texas-based Purifying Fire Ministries, said Christians need to be bold speakers for the truth of God and call upon God's people to be salt and light in the culture.
The ex-revolutionary pastor regularly stumps for his son, whom he's compared to the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah – a relentless advocate with "fire in his bones." Ted, he says, is "not going to Washington to compromise."
Cruz was kind enough to release a copy of his Canadian birth certificate
Dr. Julia G. Cruz, 73, retired professor of linguistics and Latin American literature, passed from this life on May 18, 2013, in her home
Cruz, 44, had two half-sisters from his father's earlier marriage. One, Miriam Cruz, died in 2011 at age 49 .. The other half-sister, Roxana Cruz, 52, is a medical doctor .. Alan Wilson said he and Eleanor Wilson were being treated in the same hospital when she was pregnant when a nurse told his "his wife" was there — startling the Fort Worthian. "I didn't know she was pregnant. We were definitely divorced." Asked what went wrong, he said, "Marriages don't always work. It wasn't because of infidelities or anything like that." He said they were divorced around 1963 .. Although Cruz in his book cites 1965 for Michael Wilson's birth and death, London records obtained by the Star-Telegram show that a Michael Wilson was born and died in 1966 and was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery in Kensington, a London neighborhood .. Eleanor Wilson left England sometime after the death of Michael and returned to the United States, where she met Rafael Cruz, whom she married in 1969.(updated February 23, 2016)
In the early 1960s, Rafael Cruz was also beginning to start a family. He married and had two daughters, and he started to work in the energy industry. But the marriage ended after only a few years, and Cruz found himself at a difficult crossroads in his late twenties. (One of his daughters is now a physician in Texas; the other is deceased.) Cruz decided to move to New Orleans to take a new job, which is where he met his second wife, Eleanor Darragh, a computer programmer from Delaware, who was also working for an oil company. They married, moved to Calgary, Alberta, and in late 1970 had their first and only child, Rafael Edward Cruz.
