What drives individuals to stand firm in their faith amidst peril and persecution? Join us as we welcome Sandra, a passionate advocate from Arise Africa, who shares poignant stories and groundbreaking initiatives designed to support the persecuted church. Sandra's insights illuminate the stark realities faced by Christians in regions threatened by Islamist groups, and she unveils the powerful global campaign that gained momentum at the Lausanne Congress in South Korea. Discover how Arise Africa and organizations like Open Doors are tirelessly working with international bodies to amplify the voices of those who endure unimaginable challenges for their beliefs.
This episode also honors the extraordinary courage of pastors in Uganda and Laos, who paid the ultimate price for their devotion. Their sacrifices highlight the relentless hostility faced by Christians worldwide. We also hear from Candy in Indonesia, whose journey from tragedy to resilience serves as a beacon of hope. Her story, intertwined with community support and unyielding faith, reflects the spirit of perseverance that many persecuted Christians embody. Listen in to find out how these narratives of strength and solidarity offer both a sobering perspective and an inspiring call to action.
