Angelika Walker grew up in a small town in southern Germany together with 2 more siblings. Already as a 5-year old girl she wanted to become an educator for children and it turned out to come true. At the age of 8, she had the impression as if she should go into the mission field. She didn't know yet that it was God who had put this desire into her heart. But in 1987, it became tangible:

Through a vision God talked to her and said: Don't only pray for the kids in Colombia - go and help them personally!

After a 7-year lead time, it became true. The church "Christus Centrum Ruhrgebiet" (Center of Christ in the Ruhr area, Germany) in the city of Duisburg sent her to Colombia in February 1994.

Every beginning is difficult. This was also true for Angelika in Colombia. Getting to know the language and culture, loneliness, feeling misunderstood, all that had to be overcome. Sometimes it was only the assurance of God having sent her there that kept her going and she wanted to be obedient. Yet God gives more to those who are loyal in small things.
