Are Afghans open to the gospel? This week on The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott sit down with David, a Live Global missionary working with Afghan refugees in the United States who are ministering to their own people.

If you're honest, do you approach your faith like it is all you have? In this week's episode of The Missions Podcast, Scott Dunford sits down with Ryan Brown, CEO of Open Doors US. Together they discuss the growing persecution of Christians in the United States but also valuable takeaways from brothers and sisters around the world that are suffering deep persecution for their faith.

Ryan Brown is CEO of Open Doors US. Open Doors US serves the global church by training leaders and raising awareness of the persecuted church. They were founded by a man named Brother Andrew who smuggled Bibles behind the Iron Curtain and since then have used many different platforms to engage and support the church in hard places. They annually publish a World Watch List of the top 50 countries that Christians are persecuted in and people can pray specifically for those people and places.

Missionaries are being raised up to reach the nations, but many are unable to get to their field because of funding. Support a Prefield Missionary and help those that God has called to bring the gospel to the world get there faster.
