For 35 years, Ash and Anji Barker have made bold, countercultural choices—embedding themselves in some of the world’s most overlooked and underestimated neighbourhoods. From the rough edges of Springvale in Australia, to the vibrant resilience of Bangkok’s Klong Toey slum, to the heart of inner-city Birmingham, their journey is one of hope, grit, and deep-rooted faith.
Through it all, they’ve championed the belief that every local community holds untapped potential—and with the right love, leadership, and lived presence, transformation is possible. Their story is not just inspiring—it’s a living testament to what happens when you show up, stay the course, and believe that no place is too far gone. Don’t miss this powerful conversation.
