We’re kicking off Season 5 of the FT Podcast with an insightful and encouraging conversation on a topic rarely talked about in Christian circles.

In this episode, Brother Ronji joins us on the other side of the mic to talanoa/chat about the persecuted church, what the Bible says about persecution, and how he and his wife got into ministry serving persecuted brethren. He discusses the reality of Christian persecution around the world, the challenges some believers face for simply being a disciple of Jesus Christ, and what believers, particularly in the West can learn from those who are persecuted for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Brother Ronji offers up some wonderful challenges, encouragement and practical ways we can support and stand with our persecuted brethren. This episode is in many ways a reminder of the words of Jesus in John 15:18: “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.” A timely and sobering encouragement for followers of Messiah to stand firm in biblical truth and the gospel of Jesus Christ, regardless of the cost. Be challenged, encouraged, and stirred to live more boldly for Christ, to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ and to go and tell of the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. #SDGFresh Truth Ministries has been immensely blessed by the service and labour of our fellow uso Ronji, unto the LORD, through this #budgetbutblessed ministry.

What a blessing and gift to the body of Christ to have Ronji speak on a subject that’s dear to him for his final FT podcast before he and his beautiful wife head back onto the mission field to serve the persecuted church.
