Helping victims of violence - Leonie
Meet Leonie Menzies, a woman whose childhood stretched across multiple cultures and continents, who uses her hard-won lessons to help a whole new generation of children. Leonie's early childhood was spent in the beauty of the French Alps, and the noisy hustle and bustle of Niger and Nigeria. It was also marked by a series of hellos and goodbyes, and a grief and loss that actually resulted in her becoming a person of hope - hope which she now offers to those whose lives seem hopeless.

Musician to missionary - Derek
Tune in to hear Jenny Salt chat with Derek Brotherson, the Principal of Sydney Missionary and Bible College. The pieces that make up his life are a strange fit – music, law, theology – sounds a bit like a medieval monk. But rather than being sequestered away, Derek's desire to serve took him to South East Asia and a difficult-to-reach majority religion.
