This Saturday, Tearfund Ireland is hosting a conference in RIASK in Swords from 9:30am to 1pm, bringing together speakers working on the frontlines of global displacement and humanitarian response — as well as those with personal experience of seeking refuge. 

The event comes at a time of deepening crisis in Lebanon, where ongoing conflict has forced more than 700,000 people from their homes since early March — including over 200,000 children.  

Tearfund are on the ground responding — providing food, hygiene supplies, and prioritising care for the most vulnerable, including children, older people, and those living with disabilities. 

In Psalm 81:10–14, God reminds His people that He is the One who brought them out of Egypt and invites them to open their mouths wide so He can fill them. Yet the passage also shows the sadness of a people who would not listen to God’s voice and chose their own way instead.

Musician Don Baker has been a well-known figure on the Irish music scene for decades. Alongside his performing career, he’s also been lending his support to people experiencing homelessness through his work with The Lighthouse Café Dublin, a volunteer-run service that provides food, support and a welcoming space for those who need it in the city. 

Don joined Kieran in studio now to talk about why that work matters to him, and also to tell us about what he’s been working on lately. 

Today we’re talking about something called legacy giving with the Irish humanitarian organisation GOAL. The charity has been responding to crises around the world for more than 45 years, helping vulnerable communities through emergency aid, health programmes and food security initiatives.  

One of the ways people support that work is by leaving a gift in their will — something known as a legacy gift — which helps ensure that support continues long into the future. 

Kieran was joined by David Coveney from GOAL, and also by Sarah O’Sulliabheain, who has already decided to become a legacy giver.

 To talk about why sleep matters so much and how we can improve it, Kieran spoke with Pam Stone the CEO of Respa Beds

Johny has been closely involved producing  The Way of St. Patrick to life — a project that goes beyond legend to explore the real man behind Ireland’s patron saint.  

This series isn’t just about history; it’s about faith, calling, courage, and the transformative power of the gospel. Through cinematic storytelling and deep reflection on Patrick’s life, this project invites us to consider what it means to follow Christ wholeheartedly in our own time and context.
