Are We Apathetic or Proactive Towards the Needs of the Persecuted Church - Ryan Brown

The Counter Culture Mom Show on Lightsource.com - Audio

One in seven Christians worldwide are persecuted because of their faith, and Ryan Brown explains the important role of the church to provide comfort, care, and assistance to those brothers and sisters who are suffering. Ryan is the president and CEO of Open Doors USA, a ministry providing assistance to Christians around the globe suffering tyrannical oppression from governments or hostile groups in places like North Korea and Nigeria. His organization even provides a World Watch List, which provides the top 50 countries where Christians face the highest level of persecution for their faith in Jesus. Americans have a hard time understanding just how intensely the rest of the world is persecuted for something as simple as owning a Bible. TAKEAWAYS North Korea is one of the harshest places for a Christian to live - simply owning a Bible can result in lifelong imprisonment and death In the United States, Christians’ barrier to being effective missionaries is often our own luxurious safety and comfort The enemy will do whatever he can to strike fear and intimidation into the heart of the church Giving and donating to organizations like Open Doors USA is a critical part of providing assistance to those who are suffering 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Sign Up for CCM Newsletter: https://counterculturemom.com/ Open Doors video: https://bit.ly/3LSRccC Closed Doors Report: https://bit.ly/3WTZG9S 🔗 CONNECT WITH RYAN BROWN Website: https://www.opendoorsus.org/en-US/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OpenDoorsUS/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/opendoorsus/ X: https://twitter.com/OpenDoorsUS YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@opendoorsus 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina Sanus1 (get 10% off with code Tina10): www.sanus1.com/Tina10 Rapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/TINA Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow 📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1655/29
