Songs of Hope! | Noel Kenny
In 1979, heroin invaded Kenny’s community in Dublin, and the singing stopped. He counted 440 funerals. But he and his wife Sharon were radically changed at the very same moment, and slowly but steadily fresh songs of hope are being sung again, be they by gangsters, drug-dealers, children and more. It’s a stunning account of decades of faithfulness on the same patch, with the ripple effect spreading throughout Dublin and to the nations.Noel can be contacted at noel[@]libertychurch.ie Do check out libertychurch.ie And also one-day.co for the project in Lesotho---📚 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

Wheelchair Warrior! | Linda Bridges
Rape, suicide, freemasonry, demon-possession, paralysis, and more… Sometimes it’s hard to believe what people can have gone through. And yet despite all the knocks, Linda’s story is one of radiant hope and vibrant joy, as she takes to the streets of Southampton in her wheelchair to love folks who have fallen through the cracks. I was left shaking my head in wonder and astonishment at her resilience and God’s grace once I reluctantly brought the interview to an end.

And so began his journey to redemption… It’s a great story!Manoj’s story is told in his book ‘Filthy Rich: How the Property Crash Saved my Life’ which you can buy via Instant Apostle ---📚 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
