With the call to invest his life in ways that will outlive him for eternity, Pastor Bennie, a ministry leader working in ten different nations in Asia and Africa, desires to finish well—just as he saw his parents do. His passion is discipleship for young people to raise up Daniels and Timothys who will use their voices for Christ.

Pastor Bennie has his own story of watching his father praising God while being beaten by militants. At the age of six, Bennie asked, "Why can't my dad protect me?" Working with young people today, he hears similar questions like, "Why is my father serving God in prison? What was his crime?"

Listen as Bennie shares about gospel work in Sierra Leone, bringing medical teams to serve people who have never seen a doctor, and discipling the hearts of former Muslims growing into evangelists, pastors and church leaders.

"Our job is to saturate them with the gospel," Bennie said. He even distributes Bibles to Muslim students, knowing that God's Word will produce fruit.

You'll learn more about Alpha Ministries' discipleship program for young people and what happened when Bennie asked, "How many of you have gone through persecution?" He will talk about serving and praying for persecuted Christians in Myanmar, India, Bangladesh and other nations.

As Bennie meets with young, persecuted Christians, he is challenged as he hears their stories of persecution and suffering, yet encouraged by the faithfulness they exemplify despite imprisonment, rejection, and other abuse.
