In a special extra episode, Belfast man Gerry Blain tells Will his own life story, a story of turning away from God, and of being one of the worst-behaved Bible study group members imaginable! But God called Gerry back to Himself. His witness ever since has impacted the lives of many others.

This interview was arranged at Gerry's request, when he knew his life was coming to an end. With his family's blessing, we're releasing it now, in the days immediately following his death. Gerry's work in this life is finished. His story is preserved here. Have a listen.

What 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.
