Is anyone outside the reach of God's grace? Listen this week to hear stories of radical militants in Nigeria meeting Jesus and committing their lives to His service—even at great cost.

Paul Childers leads The University of the Nations for Youth With a Mission (YWAM). He's trained Christians all over the world to tell the gospel story of Jesus' love, and reminds us that Jesus' gospel "still works" to change peoples' hearts. YWAM workers are seeing that in Nigeria—literally seeing thousands of former militants now following Christ.

Paul will also tell about finding the courage to go to hard places to share Jesus' love and encourage His followers. Listen to hear how the book of Revelation came alive in a new way as he ministered alongside persecuted Christians. He'll also offer advice to those God may be calling into missions, and give us ways to pray for the work of YWAM around the world.

You can hear more about the early days of YWAM from the ministry's founder, Loren Cunningham, in this episode of VOM Radio.
