Faith Amidst Fear: Spreading Christianity in Dangerous Territory

Send us a Text Message.

Imagine putting your life on the line to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in one of the most dangerous places in the world, where extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS are active. In this unbelievable conversation, we are joined by Brad Brandon, who has done just that in Northern Nigeria, reaching out to some of the most dangerous full-on Muslims in the region. Despite being a self-proclaimed homebody, Brad has traveled the world to bring Christ's message, even in the face of peril.

In our riveting discussion, Brad sheds light on his experiences in Northern Nigeria, where he and his organization have successfully brought the Gospel to the Fulani Muslim villages by building schools. He opens up about the devastating violence between the Fulani Muslims and Christian farmers, the harsh reality of Sharia law, and the harrowing stories of honor killings. We also delve into the incredible testimonies of faith that arise from these situations, and the challenges and dangers faced by Christians in the region.

Join us as we explore how Brad's ministry continues to grow despite the obstacles, and learn how you can support his work in Northern Nigeria through his organization, Across Nigeria.
