BBC Two - Reverse Missionaries, Episode 3

Kshama Jayaraj from Mumbai travels to Belfast, the home of her inspirational heroine.

Series following modern-day missionaries in Britain. Kshama Jayaraj from Mumbai travels to Belfast to see if she can spread the gospel through a mixture of dance, music and prayer.

Kshama Jayaraj's Church in Mumbai, The House of Prayer, spreads the gospel through a mixture of dance, music and prayer. It is proving a hit amongst young people - but can she do the same in Belfast?

Belfast was home to Kshama's inspirational heroine, Victorian missionary Amy Carmichael, who spent 50 years in India helping vulnerable children. Now, in a reverse mission, Kshama arrives in a city still divided along religious lines but with some church attendances at an all time low. 

After seeing the paramilitary murals on the walls, Kshama is inspired to create her own. However, this will be a mural with a peaceful message and her challenge will be to try and get young people from both communities to come together and help. But will anyone turn up? 

Kshama's historical journey finds her visiting a church that Amy Carmichael founded at the age of 22 to help Belfast's young millworkers. In the footsteps of her hero, Kshama tries to encourage a young mum who has never been to church to have her baby blessed.
