Dr. Moody talks with Major Michelle Lovegrove-Huggins, Mission Director at Strawberry Field in Liverpool. Strawberry Field has been in the care of The Salvation Army since the 1930s as a place that supports vulnerable young people and a site of spirituality and inspiration. This legacy continues with the current mission at Strawberry Field, which strives daily to give young people with learning disabilities and barriers to employment the chance to succeed, and honour the site that inspired John Lennon.
