Theology of Persecution - Part 2 from Riadh

The Theology of Persecution

In this episode of At Risk Radio, listen to David Witt, CEO of SOM, International and Riadh, Vice President of International Ministry and Operations for The Voice of the Martyrs, Canada.

Riadh explains his experience with persecution when he started the first Arabic language broadcast of the Gospel from France. His media center served 25 nationalities. Riadh also describes a course he teaches: Theology of Persecution, based on Scripture. Christian leaders need to be trained in how to serve new persecuted believers so they aren't shaken and cave into pressure from family, neighbors, etc. and compromise or even go back to their former false religion. Hear what happens in France after death threats and more, with no guarantee from police for protection.

The Remarkable Story of Riadh’s Journey From Islam To Christ

Riadh's Story Part 1: Accepting Christ When You Are From A Muslim Background

In this episode of At Risk Radio, you will hear Riadh, the Vice President of International Operations and Ministry for VOM Canada. Also, hear David Witt, CEO of SOM International, who had ministered with VOM Canada over the years.

Listen to Riadh's story of how he was drawn to Christ, even though he was born into a Muslim family in north Africa. He wanted to know God and providentially listened to a Christian radio broadcast from Cypress in 1988.  Riadh mailed 95 pages of questions to the address they provided at the end of the broadcast.  Within two weeks, people from this ministry mailed back patient and respectful answers to his questions. Listen to how this created a path that led to his personal relationship with Jesus Christ, as well as leading him to help plant a church in his hometown in north Africa.

In part two, coming soon, Riadh explains his experiences with persecution which prompted him to serve persecuted Christians around the world.
