Episode 54- The Fellowship of Sharing in Jesus’s Suffering with Jonathan and Nicole Resiliency

    • Spirituality

How would you respond if the month before you were to deploy to a war-torn nation, the leader of it publicly declared that any nationals who converted to Christianity would be subject to imprisonment and/or the death penalty, and any foreigners associated with that conversion would experience the same fate? Such was the case for Jonathan and Nicole 20 years ago when they first deployed to the field. Join our conversation with them as they share how they suffered alongside their neighbors in ways those neighbors could see, and it opened pathways to ministry into their lives. You'll be moved as they share from Psalm 42, how the poisoned darts of rejection, after rejection, after rejection of the gospel caused a soul weariness and pain that could only be helped and healed by bathing themselves in the Word.  A profound commitment to a culture of prayer has been their source of strength through the years.  "It's been an absolute key to our resiliency.  It's kept our hearts and hope alive."
