Faith and Danger: Brad Brandon's Nigerian Mission Experience

What drives a pastor to leave the comfort of Connecticut for the perilous regions of northern Nigeria? Join us as we converse with Brad Brandon, the founder and CEO of Across Nigeria, who recounts his transformative journey from pastoring a suburban church to spreading the Gospel in some of the most dangerous parts of the world. You'll be captivated by Brad's harrowing and humorous tales, like the pastor's close encounter with a cobra, and touched by the profound compliment he received from a Fulani chief, which underscored the love and compassion of Christ visible through his actions.

This episode doesn't shy away from drawing poignant parallels between the Fulani Muslims of northern Nigeria and the Native Americans in the United States. Both groups share a semi-nomadic lifestyle and have faced significant historical marginalization. Brad offers an eye-opening exploration of the Fulani's conversion to Islam and the initial failures of Christian missionaries from Holland and England. Listen as we delve into the current mission work, highlighting both the challenges and successes, including the establishment of schools for Fulani children, which marks a significant step forward in this ongoing effort.

Facing the brutal reality of Boko Haram's violent activities, Brad shares the risks and sacrifices involved in mission work within these volatile regions. From the constant threat of kidnappings to the reliance on faith and prayer for safety, the episode provides a raw look at the personal and communal toll of these efforts. We also tackle the significant disconnect many American Christians feel from such persecutions and emphasize the importance of raising awareness. Learn how you can contribute to this noble cause through donations and prayer, and why your support is crucial now more than ever. Don't miss this enlightening episode that shines a light on the profound impact of missionary work in some of the world's most dangerous areas.
