Initiating Change in India! | Moses Paul
When Moses went to India, he had no idea he'd end up impacting the lives of millions, be it through strategic student lectures, remote village outreach, or through the campaign of his team, which resulted in internet pornography being entirely blocked on the national Indian 4G network, and 3000 sites completely cut off! Moses' passion for the Lord, particularly in the area of fervent prayer, is a powerful example to us all, and he is not afraid to tackle thorny issues as he seeks to bring hope and Good News to nations!To invite Moses Paul to your church, please see his website: MosesPaulMinistries.com---🙏 Join our Saturday Prayer for Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/zoom ❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired ---🔔 Remember to follow us wherever you listen.▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemailFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.com---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org

Responding to the Nudge | Ian John
Having grown up attending rough schools and seeing high levels of deprivation in classmates' lives, Ian felt called to teach in tougher areas where few want to go. When I last saw him, a young man that week had tried to stab him in the eye! But he loves his job, his kids, and the regular opportunities to share his faith. And then, a few years ago, he gave himself a challenge of stepping out of his comfort zone consistently. Dozens of salvations and healings later, he’s lost count of all that God has done through him. Be inspired and challenged by how he has lived out what any of us could likewise do!You can contact Ian at iantheteacher[@]pm.me---🙏 Join our Saturday Prayer for Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/zoom ❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired ---🔔 Remember to follow us wherever you listen.▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemailFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.com---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org
