The Korea Days Bible Podcast

Ben Burkhardtpodcasters.spotify.com
This is a bit of a nostalgic Bible Podcast from my days of teaching the Bible in South Korea as a missionary English and Bible teacher, for 4 years from Sept. 2009 to Sept. 2013. These were wonderful times and the Lord blessed with many precious Bible lessons and content for His Kingdom. Lives were blessed, touched, and changed by the word of God during these years. A limited few of these recordings were made before and after my Korea Days, but I've included them here as well. I must credit my dear Korean students for encouraging me to record. Here was born ClearCallMinistries.org in 2012.
