The Lovely Sue

Sugunama Meredith

Sugunama was born into a Salvation Army family in Myanmar and has been a faithful and dedicated Salvation Army from an early age. She is married to Kevin who is an Aussie and they now serve as leaders at the Broken Hill Salvos, a remote part of the NSW division of Australia.

Kevin Amiri

In this episode of Rich Tapestries Nuria and Bryce chat with Kevin Amiri who is originally from Iran. Kevin came to Australia as an asylum seeker when he was in his 30s after a radical conversion to Christianity while he was in South Korea. He is now a Salvo leader in a Farsi community at Brunswick Salvos.

Sam Pho

Sam escaped from Vietnam when Saigon fell during the Vietnam war. He survived a five day journey on a crowded boat with dreadful conditions to eventually land in Melbourne as a refugee. The Salvos came alongside him and today he is a retired Salvo officer having served for over 30 years. Sam is a matter of fact no nonsense sort of guy and his story will inspire and encourage.

Edward Conteh. Rich Tapestries

Edward and his wife Beola came to Australia after escaping from a civil war in their homeland in Sierra Leone via Guinea. They were welcomed into Auburn Salvos and have been encouraged and supported ever since. Today they are Salvo leaders based in Cairns.

The Lovely Sue

It is very special that after 4 years of podcasting, the lovely Sue has finally agreed to be my guest.  Her story is wonderful and will inspire and encourage you.  She has a life filled with love, adventure and courage and is indeed genuinely lovely! This is the last episode of Stories Of Hope Podcast and having her as my guest is a fitting end to what has been a terrific season in my life.  Keep an eye out for the book that has emerged from this podcast  "Doing life with Bryce"
