A Life Restored, with my Neighbor Ruvi
Tuesday, 4 November, 2025
On our season finale of the Gospel Con Carne podcast, Alan sits down with our neighbor and friend, Ruvi. Born and raised in Cuba, Ruvi grew up amid political and economic hardship. After graduating, he traveled the world while working for the Cuban government before coming to Austin nine years ago to seek asylum, leaving behind his family in Cuba. Life in the United States brought new challenges—learning English, starting over and eventually losing his job as a medical assistant in 2020. The pandemic led to homelessness and deep emotional struggle, but it was during that time Ruvi found God and began rebuilding his faith. While homeless, Ruvi worked as a swim instructor for the YMCA until a co-worker told him about Community First! Village. In February 2023, he moved into his new home in the Village surrounded by a supportive and loving community. Today, Ruvi gives all glory to God for restoring his life and reminds us that no matter where we are, God is always present—even when we don't see Him right away.
