From Death to Life | Gram Seed
Gram was a football hooligan, a regular in prison, an addict and ultimately a destitute tramp, which led to him being in a coma for six days. The doctors called his mother in to agree to switch the machine off, but before they did so she allowed two men to pray over him, and he sat up! 27 years ago, this ‘scum of the earth’ started the most extraordinarily redemptive journey, which has given him the opportunity to work in prisons and schools and show thousands of people that nobody is beyond redemption. It’s a great listen!Contact his wife tash@sowingseeds.org.uk for a copy of his book ‘One Step Beyond’ and do take a look at their website: www.sowingseeds.org.uk---🎁 Support our Burundian ministry families this Christmas: greatlakesoutreach.org/stay Get daily or weekly Choose Life emails: chooselife.org.uk 🎤 Email your voice notes to us at podcast@greatlakesoutreach.org---🔔 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

God's Hostage | Andrew Brunson
Dubbed by The Economist as 'the most expensive prisoner in the world', Andrew's imprisonment in Türkiye became a subject of international attention and significance. But in this interview, he shares candidly about just how difficult it was, and how even enduring death threats, gunfire and over twenty years on the mission field hadn't prepared him for the intensity of this experience. This one is inspiring and challenging in equal measure as Andrew shares with wisdom, humility and a desire to share the lessons he learnt as God's hostage. It’s an important message, do share with others!Read Andrew’s story: God's Hostage: A True Story Of Persecution, Imprisonment, and PerseveranceDo check out Andrew’s short 8-session Prepare to Stand series on: frc.org/preparetostand---🎁 Support our Burundian ministry families this Christmas: greatlakesoutreach.org/stay Get daily or weekly Choose Life emails: chooselife.org.uk 🎤 Email your voice notes to us at podcast@greatlakesoutreach.org---🔔 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
