Summary

As he leads VOM's international work, Brother Jonathan has a front-row seat to see what God is doing around the world: thousands of Muslims and Hindus coming to faith in Christ! That spread of the gospel comes with a price, though, and Jonathan oversees VOM's efforts to provide spiritual and physical aid to Christians affected by persecution and equip front-line workers to continue spreading the gospel. Listen as Jonathan shares some of the exciting plans for VOM's work in 2017, as well as how his encounters with persecuted Christians have impacted the way he lives out his faith each day. Jonathan will also share some of the challenges of our international work, and equip you to pray specifically for VOM workers going out to serve in dangerous places around the world.
