Harry is the Director of the Men’s Program of the organization „Ciudad Refugio“ and Medellín, the second largest city in Colombia. I did my internship semester regarding my university studies of theology and social work there.

It’s almost impossible not to see God in this place! Faith is lived there in every day life and it’s incredible to see ex-drug addicts now reading the Bible and that this relationship with God has changed their lives completely! 

Especially Harry is a great model to me, the way he lives out his faith in the midst of everyday work asking God for wisdom and help, how he interacts with people being strict and consequent but caring at the same time and how wise and God-fearing he is! 

Listen to the interview and be inspired of also putting the Bible into practice and start a relationship with Jesus, who wants to transform your life, restore your broken heart, wants to rescue you from things that make you unfree and destroy you and most important wants to give you eternal life in heaven!

mein praxissemester verbringe ich gerade in medellín. ich habe schon - bevor es überhaupt losging - angefangen, die tage bis nach deutschland zu zählen. wieso ich nicht hier sein wollte, aber dennoch hier bin, erfährst du in dieser folge.

vor kurzem hab ich aus obstmangel eine grüne banane gegessen. Gott hat dadurch sehr zu mir gesprochen. was Er gesagt hat erfahrt ihr in dieser podcastfolge. :)

in dieser folge erzähle ich davon, wie Gott durch drei bibelverse zu mir gesprochen und mich ermutigt hat, mit dem podcast zu beginnen. "zufällig" waren sie genau in der zeit, in der ich mir viele gedanken zum podcast gemacht habe, vers des tages.

hola y bienvenidos zu meiner ersten Podcastfolge! ich bin Christina, 25 Jahre alt und gerade in Südamerika unterwegs! in dieser Folge stelle ich mich etwas vor, erzähle dir von meiner "spanischen Geschichte" und warum ich glaube, dass Gott mir die Liebe für die Sprache ins Herz gelegt hat. viel Spaß beim Anhören!
