Joshua Youssef has dedicated his life to serving the persecuted Church around the world. In this in-depth interview with Premier Christianity's Sam Hailes, Joshua shares stories of Muslims in the Middle East who have found faith through dreams and visions. Joshua grew up in a strong Christian family (his father, Dr Michael Yousef, is the founder of Leading the Way and a previous guest on this show). But Joshua tried to "run away" from God as a student, before his friends brush with near-death brought him back to faith. The CEO and President of Help the Persecuted explains how the ministry is able to track and verify genuine conversions to Christianity, gives his view on whether Christians in the West are persecuted, and shares honestly his struggle with "the idol of comfort and safety" which he says is a prevalent temptation for Christians in the West.
