Through personal testimonies from the global church, this seminar will explore how the light of the gospel has brought joy even in places of challenge and darkness. Millions of our brothers and sisters around the world face extreme persecution for following Jesus. Considering this alongside other topics of war, displacement and gender-based violence, we will see examples of God redeeming suffering and the gift of God-given joy will be presented. Voices from the global church will tell their stories. There will also be opportunity for discussion on what the church in Ireland can learn from experiences of Christians across the world.

Without offering trite solutions, or pretending that there are any quick-fix solutions, Tony and Jilly Horsfall shared some responses that enable us to move forward to a deeper relationship with God even in the face of disappointment.
