Ski Angels | Will and Lara Sussman
3w ago00:54:39Tap to summarize34 years ago, a drunken couple avoided the long queue into a bar by her benefitting from his fireman’s lift and squeezing headfirst through the men’s toilet window! Decades later, that same (sober) couple now host community outreach evenings in that very bar through their team of Ski Angels who live together in Meribel as part of Altitude Mission. It’s a fantastic story! ▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/43Iebw3PVpYIf you’re interested in their work in any way, connect with them and check out the opportunities at www.altitudemission.com---🌽 Check out our amazing farming video: glo.org.uk/farming❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp ChannelFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.comChoose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org

Growing Hope | Naomi Fox
4w ago01:00:17Tap to summarizeWhen a lady in the congregation went up to the vicar and told him she had a vision for helping kids with additional needs, little did anyone realise that a decade later there would be ten charities working across the UK, helping thousands of children, parents and indeed families navigate the challenges life throws at them.

Foot on the Gas! | Tim Hughes
Jun 1101:09:15Tap to summarize‘Here I am to worship’ was the most sung song in the world apart from ‘Happy Birthday’ when it was released in 2001, but there is so much more to Tim Hughes’ story. He could have pursued a career as an artist in the USA, instead he intentionally stepped away from the huge opportunities on offer. Raising up and equipping worship leaders was a passion, but so was leading a local congregation. The last ten years in Birmingham have produced stunning fruit through the planting of Gas Street Church and other communities of faith. What a story!▶️ Watch this episode as a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0RcaLzh6ZZMCheck out: gasstreet.church---🌽 Check out our amazing farming video: glo.org.uk/farming❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp ChannelFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.comChoose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk✨ You might also enjoy:Kingdom in Kings Cross! | Pete HughesAwakening! | Pete WynterExciting Times to be Alive! | Stephen Foster---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org

From Hamsters to High Sheriff | Mark Mitchell
May 2800:54:03Tap to summarizeMark Mitchell’s entrepreneurial gift was evident as an 8-year-old when he bought two hamsters, dimmed the lights, put the mood music on, and began raking in the cash after a short gestation period!

Walking Free | John Edwards
May 2101:00:12Tap to summarizeJohn Edwards was, for many years, a homeless drug addict and alcoholic.

The Faithful Scientist | John Lennox
May 700:57:36Tap to summarizeJohn Lennox came to worldwide attention and renown through debating the likes of famous atheists Dawkins and Hitchens, but less well known is his work behind the Iron Curtain, which impacted millions in its own right. At 82-years-old now, he’s still managed to come out with two books this year alone, including his autobiography. His is a high-profile life well-lived indeed, free from any whiff of scandal; humble, gracious, laser-focused, it’s wonderful to listen to this wise old hero of the faith looking back and readying himself to meet his Maker.▶️ Watch this as a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pJuRm0w3Rl4Check out www.johnlennox.org to see his debates with Dawkins et al, or buy his books, including his recently-released autobiography ‘John C.

Apr 2401:02:31Tap to summarizeMake sure you check out Part 1 to hear Mez's astounding story!What does it actually look like to reach the people the Western church has largely abandoned? Mez McConnell has spent 30 years doing it — in Brazilian favelas, Scottish housing schemes, and some of the most deprived postcodes in the UK. In Part 2, he pulls no punches. This is a conversation that will unsettle comfortable Christianity and inspire anyone who's ever wondered if the church could — and should — do more. Mez's raw honesty about mission, sacrifice, and what genuine community transformation looks like is worth every minute.▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nhyFSbWHYEIOf all Mez’s books, if you want to engage with poverty and church-planting in the UK, go for The Least, The Last and The Lost: Understanding Poverty in the UK and the Responsibility of the Local Church---🌽 Check out our amazing farming video: glo.org.uk/farming❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp ChannelFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.comChoose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org
