Make 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---❤️ 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
