Summary
Paul wrote to the Corinthian church that, "a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries" (I Cor. 16:9). "Brother Aaron" says Paul's ministry description could have been written about Christians in the restricted nation of Pakistan in 2021.
Listen as Aaron shares how Christian persecution is "like the air" in Pakistan—something that's always present and almost taken for granted by people there. He'll also explain how the church prepares believers—especially young people—to be strong in their faith and ready to withstand societal pressure and persecution.
Aaron will also talk about the types of persecution faced by former Muslims who leave Islam behind to follow Christ. Finally, he'll equip listeners with specific ways to pray for Pakistan and the church there.
