Minuto de Dios

Minuto de Dios (in English Minute of God) is a Colombian non-profit spirit organization of Catholic religious origin founded by Rafael García Herreros. In 1950, García Herreros initiated in Colombia a daily, minute-long radio program under the name The Minute of God. The program went on national television in 1955 and as of 2011 is still on the air. The great popularity of the program allows García to summon an annual Banquet of Million, or Banquete del Millon, which began in 1961, an event in which the participants pay an expensive entrance to a simple supper of broth and bread, with the goal of raising funds to build houses for less fortunate people.

The organization also owns a radio station in Bogotá.
