Christian Emergency Podcast

Faith Cha’s mother and grandmother fled North Korea for their lives. Miraculously, they survived the violence when many around them did not. Not only did they survive, but God crossed their paths with Christians who helped them.
These believers—normal people of no renown—played huge roles in the lives of these women by small acts of kindness and grace. These blessings not only helped these women fleeing North Korea, but also the next generation. Faith herself was richly blessed by kind Christians who loved and encouraged her as a refugee kid, confused in a strange, new country.
Through this journey and divine interactions, a spiritual legacy was born. In time, Faith and her husband carried forth that spiritual legacy in surprising, but fitting, ways. They crossed the globe to make Christ known to Muslims in Central Asia. And today they help others minister to refugees, just as others once helped her frightened mom and grandma.
Be encouraged. This testimony reminds us that even our smallest acts of kindness can make powerful impacts in the lives of others. God can use them to transform lives, families, communities and even generations.

In many countries today, “privilege” has become a loaded term. But in the midst of a dying world, those saved by the Gospel truly are privileged. The Gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to transform our lives, communities and eternal futures. But Gospel Privilege also requires us to walk a road of sacrifice, suffering and faith. What does that look like for you?
David Joannes, a missionary in Southeast Asia, joins Andy on this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast to unpack this concept of Gospel Privilege. David has served for over 20 years in southeast Asia and is passionate to see unreached people groups gain access to the Gospel.
David borrows from his experiences - such as smuggling Bibles in China, being interrogated, or serving in conflict zones - to help us understand how we can live joyful, faithful lives despite challenges. He threads history, theology and missions together to help us better understand our task. This context and insight will help you rise to your calling to live Gospel-privileged lives.

Iran is engulfed in war. Instability and violence have exploded throughout its borders, as well as the region. The situation inIran is grim. And all of the challenges today follow decades of oppressive rule and Islamist governance.
What is it like on the ground for Iranian Christians? How is the Church in Iran responding to the chaos? Are they able toreflect the light and love of Christ in the societal darkness around them? Importantly, what can Christians globally learn from the Iranian Church’s faithfulness under fire? And how can we tailor our prayers in support of our spiritual family there?
Joining the Christian Emergency Podcast to answer these questions and more is David Yeghnazar. Born in Iran, David serves as the executive director of Elam Ministries – a ministry committed to training and nurturing the Church in Iran. It is difficult to hear any updates from inside Iran these days, particularly from persecuted believers. We are gratefulthat David can provide a glimpse into the current situation facing Iran’s Christians.
