Few people have felt a power drill bore holes into their legs while being hung upside down. But Okongo Samson has. All because he dared to talk about Jesus Christ. Okongo shares about the good news of salvation and forgiving his abusers in his powerful story entitled, Abducted But Not Forsaken: How One Man’s Escape from a Notorious Terrorist Brought Hope to Africa. Okongo talks about the extreme difficulty in trusting God after he was ambushed by the Lord’s Resistance Army at the age of 16, while traveling to war torn nations to preach the good news. While held as prisoner, he was repeatedly sexually abused and saw many children dying around him. Today, as founder and president of Unite 4 Africa, Okongo has traveled to over 92 countries to help liberate other people facing persecution.

Todd Nettleton had a heart for sharing Christ with the lost since the age of twelve. His parents were missionaries in Papua New Guinea where it was Todd’s first taste of international travel, culture, food, and language. His childhood in PNG was the beginning of an exciting and eye-opening adventure that today enables him to share stories of persecuted Christians from around the world. His new book When Faith Is Forbidden: 40 Days on the Frontlines With Persecuted Christians will encourage us to be bolder in our faith and pray and give to VOM so they can expand their reach. As host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio and chief of media relations, Todd informs Americans about the faithfulness of Christians from over 70 nations where they face torture and death because of their faith in Jesus.

During a Southern California church service Brandon Stiver felt a call from God to go run an orphanage in Africa. Months later, he was working at a children's home in East Africa for the next two and a half years. During this time, Brandon realized the need for kids to grow up in a family and has since dedicated himself to pursuing healthy family placements for orphaned children as senior director of Global Programs and Partnerships at 1MILLIONHOME. Orphanages deprive children of the most critical building blocks during their younger years. Today, Brandon is rescuing, rehabilitating, and reunifying children with their parents and giving them the appropriate emotional and psychological development they need.

When constitutional conservative Sherronna Bishop stepped into the freedom ring to protect her children from harmful government policies, the FBI used a battering ram to bust down her front door. Known as America’s Mom, Sherronna got involved in politics after her children’s school was conducting mental health evaluations without getting parental consent and teaching graphic Comprehensive Sex Education. She shared her concern with the school board and the Department of Justice (DOJ) retaliated by weaponizing the FBI to carry out fear and intimidation tactics to try to silence her. However, Sherronna fought back and is educating people about their God-given constitutional rights which are never suspended even during a “pandemic.”
