Mauritania: Rejected, Falsely Accused, and Threatened with Death: Adam’s story of Perseverance Closer to the Fire with Greg Musselman

- Christianity
“Adam” (not his real name) grew up in a Muslim home in the North African country of Mauritania, where over 99 percent of the population is considered to be Muslim, and it’s illegal to leave Islam. Even though it was dangerous even to consider another religion Adam was disillusioned with the god of Islam, so he wanted to know more about Christianity. However, the churches he went to refused to let him in because he was a Muslim. That didn’t deter Adam’s desire to know more about Jesus. After a decade of searching, he met a missionary who led him to Christ. After becoming a close friend to another missionary named Chris Leggett, Adam’s faith blossomed. In 2009, tragedy rocked Adam’s world when Leggett, a married father of four, was murdered by militant Islamists for his ministry among Muslims in Mauritania. Adam became even more focused on building God’s Kingdom in the North African nation, but it came at a huge cost.Length 6:30Episode notesTo watch the video of Adam’s story https://vomcanada.com/cttf-videos/video/cttf-mr-adam.htm (https://vomcanada.com/cttf-videos/video/cttf-mr-adam.htm)To learn more about The Voice of the Martyrs Canada Equipping the Saints fund https://store.vomcanada.org/category/donations/equipping-the-saints-fund (https://store.vomcanada.org/category/donations/equipping-the-saints-fund)
