Frankly Virginia’s story is nuts. Standing up to the Romanian dictator Ceaucescu, she used her skills and courage as a lawyer to defend persecuted Christians and fight for religious freedom. She was tortured repeatedly - yet even blessed her abusers as they did so, who on occasion turned away with tears in their eyes. And then one day a hired assassin drew his gun in her office and the game was up! You will be totally blown away!You’ll love reading more detail of her story in her best-selling memoir ‘Saving My Assassin’.

Surprisingly Reasonable! | Justin Brierley
Justin’s big brain gets put to good use as a writer, speaker and broadcaster. Over the last couple of decades, he’s brought together the world’s most famous atheists for debates and discussions, and has had a front seat in observing a massive shift away from angry atheism towards openness to the gospel, including some very high-profile converts to Christ. It’s deeply encouraging! You can also watch this episode on YouTube.To buy his book, subscribe to the podcast, or invite him to speak, go to justinbrierley.com and you can contact him at justin[@]justinbrierley.com ---Order the Inspired Book nowSupport our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired ---Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sgWeekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsappWeekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemailFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.com---Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org

Filthy Generous! | Sir Brian Souter
Whilst his father was a hard-working bus driver, Brian (with his sister) built the nation’s biggest bus company, Stagecoach. It reached FTSE 100 status, and was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1993, valued at £134million. He is Scotland’s most generous man, giving away more than £150 million over the last few decades. His whole message is of surrender to Christ and offering up all he has for God’s glory. It’s a superb podcast and as inspiring/entertaining as any I’ve done.

Everyday Miracles in Mozambique | Heidi Baker
Heidi Baker is one of the best known missionaries in the world for a reason. We could have filled twenty podcasts with New Testament-type miraculous stories, but the ones she shared here were wild enough. Her Iris team has seen millions impacted, and thousands of communities of faith planted in Muslim areas after dramatic signs and wonders. What a story!

Never Too Far Gone | Shane Taylor
Shane’s life was so spectacularly destructive, dark and violent that he was always likely to end up in a maximum security prison, where he was required to be accompanied by seven prison guards in riot gear just to leave his cell. The turnaround in his life beggars belief. His joy in reliving the miraculous transformation was so beautiful (and funny!). There is always hope. What a story!If you want to be in touch with Shane, his email is ptshane89[@]gmail.com---Order the Inspired Book nowSupport our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired ---Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sgWeekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsappWeekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemailFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.com---Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org
