Send us a textWhat is Northern Ireland to you? Home? Or a strange and alien land? To people using the International Meeting Point venues in south and north Belfast it can be both. Kerry and Will have been to visit and meet the Project Leader, Rev Colin Dickson. Colin's own story and insights into his work, and Western, Islamic and Jewish culture are remarkable. But we also hear about an academic study to understand how some refugees and asylum seekers cope with the trauma they have gone through, and continue to experience. Stories of a journey to get here, and a continuing journey with the Gospel.Produced by Commission Christian Radio

Counting the Cost
Send us a textWhat does "counting the cost" mean for 380 million Christians around the world? Chris Phillips of Open Doors UK and Ireland joins us to explain why they keep a World Watch List of the Top 50 countries where it's dangerous to live your faith openly. And we meet John Ghanim from Yemen, 3rd on the list. John explains how he receives death threats every day. His remarkable story illustrates what "counting the cost" can really mean.Produced by Commission Christian Radio

Different and the Same
Send us a textThere hasn't ever been a generation which didn't quite understand its young people, nor a group of teenagers who didn't roll their eyes at their parents. They're different. And they're just the same. Will and Kerry welcome Jose Cummings of Exodus to Commission as they look at how it cares for and disciples young people. And this in an era where a world of distractions gives our teenagers very little space to think.Produced by Commission Christian Radio

Freed to Flourish
Send us a textA sadly all-too-common news story - a police raid on a property, and people rescued from their abusers. People who'd been trafficked to Northern Ireland and forced into sex work. But what happens after the story is largely forgotten? How does a victim become a survivor? Jill Robinson of Flourish NI joins Kerry and Will to explain how they can help, and we hear the true story of one woman who has made a new life.Produced by Commission Christian Radio
