In prison


Being on the side of a Colombian prisoner being baptized in water, is one of the moments that I have enjoyed most in my life.

Today I once again had the opportunity to join Swedish Ankarstiftelsen as they visit the prisons of Colombia. Today we accompanied their local Christian volunteer workers in the prison as they baptized new believers among the prisoners. More people saved for eternal life! Yohoo!

Do you believe these words of Jesus are still valid?

Truly, I tell all of you with certainty, the one who believes in me has eternal life. (John 6:47)

Tickets to heaven are still around and it's real! Let me know if you are interested!

Ankarstiftelsen is a fantastic organization. Walking in the footpaths of Jesus, they "waste" a lot of money on:

  • Constructing schools for kids who have none
  • Helping young people to escape criminality through soccer and teaching them how to live a constructive and meaningful life
  • Helping prisoners to enter a path of legal and healthy life
  • Offering microloans to poor women who take off and start contributing to society 
  • Reconciling criminal gangs who have been in conflict
  • Supporting orphanages

Tomorrow we are going to another prison... one with around 7,000 prisoners...

Speaking of which... last week we started shooting Sin Reversa! Tell you more soon. Now I need to pack my bags because I'm taking off to Bogota tomorrow!
