Kingdom Philanthropy | Anthony Farr
I met Anthony on the back of a donkey in the Egyptian desert, and after a while, it twigged that we’d been tennis partners at prep school! His journey out of business in the City of London back to his native South Africa is riveting. There he pioneered a significant charity called Starfish which impacted many thousands of AIDS orphans, and that subsequently led him to working for Allan Gray (South Africa’s equivalent of Warren Buffett), with the aim of identifying, mentoring and releasing a new generation of ethical entrepreneurs to positively impact society.---📚 Help us send children back to school in Burundi Get your tickets for Freedom Behind Bars in Bath on 12th Oct 🎤 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

That's My Dad | Tim Sisarich
Tim’s Dad went to prison for massive fraud, where he had an encounter that so transformed him that his sentence was commuted. He became a mesmerising conference speaker and prophet, but behind the fruitful ministry of casting out demons and seeing many come to faith, he was cheating on his wife, and battling his own inner demons of drink, anger and worthlessness. Tim’s journey of personal healing, and of experiencing and sharing God’s grace with his father, is profound and inspiring. Check out GlobalLocals.org, where you can connect with Tim and grab a copy of his book, ‘The Great Embrace’. Tim's documentary, ‘Irreplaceable’ is available through most streaming services.---📚 Help us send children back to school in Burundi Get your tickets for Freedom Behind Bars in Bath on 12th Oct 🎤 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
