Summary

"Brother Jay" continues the conversation about working in North Africa, including the biggest challenge that new Muslim converts to Christianity face, and how they prepare Christians—from their first days walking with Christ—to face persecution and rejection. Jay also shares ways that American Christians can reach out to Muslims who live right here in the United States. Then we'll talk with Christian recording artist Nicole C. Mullen about her love for VOM's book, "Jesus Freaks," how she prays for persecuted believers and why she shares the stories of the faith of persecuted Christians with her children.
