Summary

Gram was a football hooligan, a regular in prison, an addict and ultimately a destitute tramp, which led to him being in a coma for six days. The doctors called his mother in to agree to switch the machine off, but before they did so she allowed two men to pray over him, and he sat up! 27 years ago, this ‘scum of the earth’ started the most extraordinarily redemptive journey, which has given him the opportunity to work in prisons and schools and show thousands of people that nobody is beyond redemption. It’s a great listen! Contact his wife tash@sowingseeds.org.uk for a copy of his book ‘One Step Beyond’ and do take a look at their website: www.sowingseeds.org.uk --- Sign up for More Than Conquerors: https://www.greatlakesoutreach.org/people/simon-guillebaud/more-than-conquerors/?utm_source=inspired_description&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=inspired (⁠greatlakesoutreach.org/mtc⁠) https://www.greatlakesoutreach.org/people/simon-guillebaud/choose-life-2023/?utm_source=inspired_description&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=inspired&utm_id=inspired (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Support us: https://www.greatlakesoutreach.org/get-involved/inspired-give/?utm_source=inspired_description&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=inspired&utm_id=inspired (⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired⁠⁠⁠) --- Weekly episode WhatsApp link: https://www.simonguillebaud.com/inspired-podcast/#whatsapp (⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp⁠⁠⁠) | Weekly email notification: https://www.simonguillebaud.com/inspired-podcast/#email (⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail⁠⁠⁠) For more from Simon, visit: https://www.simonguillebaud.com/ (⁠⁠⁠simonguillebaud.com⁠⁠⁠) --- Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi and Beyond: https://www.greatlakesoutreach.org/?utm_source=inspired_description&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=inspired&utm_id=inspired (⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org⁠)

I'll pass an issue across, I'm guessing, about 12 years ago at New Wine North, at Newark, where you're telling your story there, and I bought your book, and I love it that we're, I'll pass across again in the summer at Cedarwood Festival where
