  • I've got point out they haven't had a christian president 2015.
  • 00:06:02.677 --> 00:06:05.279
  • Had a christian president 2015. >> the current president's a

  • >> the current president's a muslim.
  • 00:06:06.113 --> 00:06:06.314
  • Muslim. so is there some ideological i

  • Haram the these groups that are doing the kidnaping and kill
  • 00:06:16.491 --> 00:06:19.994

  • It? >> well, there's a lot of lip
  • 00:06:20.394 --> 00:06:20.995
  • >> well, there's a lot of lip service and there they have
  • 00:06:21.128 --> 00:06:23.664
  • Service and there they have within the united nations that
  • 00:06:23.798 --> 00:06:24.398
  • Within the united nations that says the government is doing
  • 00:06:24.532 --> 00:06:25.099
  • Says the government is doing all they can.
  • 00:06:25.233 --> 00:06:27.368
  • All they can. but let me give you
  • 00:06:27.502 --> 00:06:28.035
  • But let me give you one example.
  • 00:06:28.169 --> 00:06:28.436
  • One example. christians they're the these
  • 00:06:28.569 --> 00:06:31.272
  • Christians they're the these farmers in the southern regions
  • 00:06:31.405 --> 00:06:32.039
  • Farmers in the southern regions are being attacked by the
  • 00:06:32.173 --> 00:06:32.707
  • Are being attacked by the fulani herdsmen who have been
  • 00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:36.043
  • Fulani herdsmen who have been radicalized and weaponized.
  • 00:06:36.177 --> 00:06:36.711
  • Radicalized and weaponized. so christians in the southern
  • 00:06:36.844 --> 00:06:40.081
  • So christians in the southern part the only thing that
  • 00:06:40.214 --> 00:06:40.715
  • Part the only thing that they're allowed to have to
  • 00:06:40.848 --> 00:06:41.415
  • They're allowed to have to defend themselves a single shot
  • 00:06:41.549 --> 00:06:44.085
  • Defend themselves a single shot cut of an old bush gun against
  • 00:06:44.218 --> 00:06:44.952
  • Cut of an old bush gun against these trucks ak 47 that are
  • 00:06:45.086 --> 00:06:47.588
  • These trucks ak 47 that are brought in by these islamist
  • 00:06:47.722 --> 00:06:48.322
  • Brought in by these islamist terrorists there's no match.
  • 00:06:48.456 --> 00:06:51.125
  • Terrorists there's no match. there's no really ability and
  • 00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:51.859
  • There's no really ability and and what president and
  • 00:06:51.993 --> 00:06:54.795
  • And what president and secretary rubio and the state
  • 00:06:54.929 --> 00:06:55.496
  • Secretary rubio and the state department is saying you've got
  • 00:06:55.630 --> 00:06:56.264
  • Department is saying you've got to do in protecting these
  • 00:06:56.397 --> 00:06:58.499
  • To do in protecting these christians because right now it
  • 00:06:58.633 --> 00:06:59.233
  • Christians because right now it is not just recently but every
  • 00:06:59.367 --> 00:07:02.136
  • Is not just recently but every year somewhere even
  • 00:07:02.270 --> 00:07:04.972
  • Year somewhere even conservative estimates gordan
  • 00:07:05.106 --> 00:07:05.673
  • Conservative estimates gordan we're looking 4000 to 8000
  • 00:07:05.806 --> 00:07:08.643
  • We're looking 4000 to 8000 christians that had been killed
  • 00:07:08.776 --> 00:07:09.410
  • Christians that had been killed annually going back ten, 12, 13
  • 00:07:09.544 --> 00:07:12.046
  • Annually going back ten, 12, 13 years.
  • 00:07:12.179 --> 00:07:12.346
  • Years. >> well you would think that
  • 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.047
  • >> well you would think that the nigerian government could
  • 00:07:13.180 --> 00:07:15.783
  • The nigerian government could do a whole lot more and a whole
  • 00:07:15.917 --> 00:07:16.817
  • Do a whole lot more and a whole lot more with a standing army
  • 00:07:16.951 --> 00:07:19.754
  • Lot more with a standing army against these rebel groups.
  • 00:07:19.887 --> 00:07:23.691
  • Against these rebel groups. you know, i assume they have
  • 00:07:23.824 --> 00:07:24.458
  • You know, i assume they have drone technology.
  • 00:07:24.592 --> 00:07:24.959
  • Drone technology. i assume they have cell phone
  • 00:07:25.092 --> 00:07:27.228
  • I assume they have cell phone monitoring technology.
  • 00:07:27.361 --> 00:07:27.795
  • Monitoring technology. >> you would you would think
  • 00:07:27.929 --> 00:07:31.632
  • >> you would you would think they would be able to protect
  • 00:07:31.766 --> 00:07:32.366
  • They would be able to protect their own citizens?
  • 00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:32.900
  • Their own citizens? >> is there some kind of
  • 00:07:33.034 --> 00:07:35.269
  • >> is there some kind of coordinated agreement that it's
  • 00:07:35.403 --> 00:07:38.839
  • Coordinated agreement that it's okay to kidnap?
  • 00:07:38.973 --> 00:07:39.307
  • Okay to kidnap? >> it's okay to kill?
  • 00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:39.907
  • >> it's okay to kill? i there's a combination of
  • 00:07:40.041 --> 00:07:43.144
  • I there's a combination of things.
  • 00:07:43.277 --> 00:07:43.477
  • Things. whether there's an intimidation
  • 00:07:43.611 --> 00:07:44.245
  • Whether there's an intimidation by the islamist groups or
  • 00:07:44.378 --> 00:07:46.881
  • By the islamist groups or whether there's part of the
  • 00:07:47.014 --> 00:07:47.582
  • Whether there's part of the government that simply turns a
  • 00:07:47.715 --> 00:07:50.184
  • Government that simply turns a blind eye or turns the other
  • 00:07:50.318 --> 00:07:50.885
  • Blind eye or turns the other way and i think this is why
  • 00:07:51.018 --> 00:07:51.819
  • Way and i think this is why president trump's bold move two
  • 00:07:51.953 --> 00:07:54.655
  • President trump's bold move two and a half weeks ago to say
  • 00:07:54.789 --> 00:07:55.423
  • And a half weeks ago to say look, we're you on the cpc list
  • 00:07:55.556 --> 00:07:58.693
  • Look, we're you on the cpc list is hopefully the motivation for
  • 00:07:58.826 --> 00:08:01.996
  • Is hopefully the motivation for the nigerian government.
  • 00:08:02.129 --> 00:08:02.630
  • The nigerian government. even in your own report the
  • 00:08:02.763 --> 00:08:05.266
  • Even in your own report the reporter talked about nigeria
  • 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:05.967
  • Reporter talked about nigeria and billion dollars of aid from
  • 00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:08.636
  • And billion dollars of aid from the u.s. historically all
  • 00:08:08.769 --> 00:08:12.306
  • The u.s. historically all that's now in jeopardy unless
  • 00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:13.040
  • That's now in jeopardy unless the nigerian government shows
  • 00:08:13.174 --> 00:08:15.710
  • The nigerian government shows good faith and not just
  • 00:08:15.843 --> 00:08:16.344
  • Good faith and not just awareness but action steps that
  • 00:08:16.477 --> 00:08:19.614
  • Awareness but action steps that that would protect the
  • 00:08:19.747 --> 00:08:20.181
  • That would protect the christian people there their
  • 00:08:20.314 --> 00:08:20.881
  • Christian people there their own natives, their countrymen
  • 00:08:21.015 --> 00:08:23.718
  • Own natives, their countrymen there in the country of
  • 00:08:23.851 --> 00:08:24.352
  • There in the country of nigeria.
  • 00:08:24.485 --> 00:08:24.685
  • Nigeria. >> well, let's zoom and start
  • 00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:27.455
  • >> well, let's zoom and start looking at the entire world
  • 00:08:27.588 --> 00:08:28.155
  • Looking at the entire world when you when you become an
  • 00:08:28.289 --> 00:08:31.258
  • When you when you become an ambassador, what other
  • 00:08:31.392 --> 00:08:31.859
  • Ambassador, what other countries are you going to
  • 00:08:31.993 --> 00:08:32.526
  • Countries are you going to prioritize.
  • 00:08:32.660 --> 00:08:35.262
  • Prioritize. >> well, there's a couple of
  • 00:08:35.396 --> 00:08:36.030
  • >> well, there's a couple of different things here.
  • 00:08:36.163 --> 00:08:36.631
  • Different things here. you have one where you have
  • 00:08:36.764 --> 00:08:38.399
  • You have one where you have islamists coming in that are
  • 00:08:38.532 --> 00:08:39.133
  • Islamists coming in that are just laying waste to people.
  • 00:08:39.266 --> 00:08:39.834
  • Just laying waste to people. .
  • 00:08:41.569 --> 00:08:41.836
  • . the other thing gordon that
  • 00:08:41.969 --> 00:08:42.536
  • The other thing gordon that we're concerned about is the
  • 00:08:42.670 --> 00:08:43.237
  • We're concerned about is the rising blasphemy laws.
  • 00:08:43.371 --> 00:08:45.272
  • Rising blasphemy laws. places like india even recently
  • 00:08:45.406 --> 00:08:46.107

  • Months with trumped up charges. a lot of a lot of china impact

  • A lot of a lot of china impact an influence on south korea
  • 00:08:56.417 --> 00:08:56.951
  • An influence on south korea right now as i just mentioned
  • 00:08:57.084 --> 00:08:59.720
  • Right now as i just mentioned the blasphemy laws in india
  • 00:08:59.854 --> 00:09:00.421
  • The blasphemy laws in india under minister modi has
  • 00:09:00.554 --> 00:09:02.857
  • Under minister modi has increased.
  • 00:09:02.990 --> 00:09:03.224
  • Increased. we're seeing more and more
  • 00:09:03.357 --> 00:09:03.924
  • We're seeing more and more believers are being detained
  • 00:09:04.058 --> 00:09:06.527
  • Believers are being detained and even put in prison.
  • 00:09:06.661 --> 00:09:07.161
  • And even put in prison. there's about 19 countries
  • 00:09:09.063 --> 00:09:09.630
  • There's about 19 countries across the world that we've
  • 00:09:09.764 --> 00:09:10.297
  • Across the world that we've seen an uptick an upswing in
  • 00:09:10.431 --> 00:09:12.800
  • Seen an uptick an upswing in persecution of people of faith.
  • 00:09:12.933 --> 00:09:13.601
  • Persecution of people of faith. but as we know in our data
  • 00:09:13.734 --> 00:09:17.338
  • But as we know in our data shows us that christians are
  • 00:09:17.471 --> 00:09:18.072
  • Shows us that christians are the number one persecuted group
  • 00:09:18.205 --> 00:09:20.074
  • The number one persecuted group in the world.
  • 00:09:20.207 --> 00:09:20.508
  • In the world. >> yeah, this is i would say
  • 00:09:20.641 --> 00:09:23.744
  • >> yeah, this is i would say this is the greatest
  • 00:09:23.878 --> 00:09:24.378
  • This is the greatest persecution church has seen
  • 00:09:24.512 --> 00:09:27.114
  • Persecution church has seen since the roman empire.
  • 00:09:27.248 --> 00:09:27.715
  • Since the roman empire. i mean this is and it's and

  • It's not just isolated areas. you know obviously sub-saharan
  • 00:09:31.886 --> 00:09:34.422
  • You know obviously sub-saharan africa but to my amazement
  • 00:09:34.555 --> 00:09:38.025

  • India is on that list south korea now that list.
  • 00:09:38.993 --> 00:09:42.296
  • Korea now that list. it i guess you always expect
  • 00:09:42.430 --> 00:09:46.000
  • It i guess you always expect china to be on that list but it
  • 00:09:46.133 --> 00:09:46.967
  • China to be on that list but it just seems to be an incredible
  • 00:09:47.101 --> 00:09:49.937
  • Just seems to be an incredible worldwide increase on the
  • 00:09:50.071 --> 00:09:50.604
  • Worldwide increase on the persecution of christians.
  • 00:09:50.738 --> 00:09:53.808

  • Much more things i can't even put into words.
  • 00:33:19.638 --> 00:33:20.005
  • Put into words. that's why god is in the very
  • 00:33:20.139 --> 00:33:24.877
  • That's why god is in the very beginning of that testimony
  • 00:33:25.010 --> 00:33:28.447
  • Beginning of that testimony brandon said that he was a
  • 00:33:28.581 --> 00:33:29.181

  • Jesus said he came to set the captives free free from all
  • 00:33:41.360 --> 00:33:44.496
  • Captives free free from all those things because sin has a
  • 00:33:44.630 --> 00:33:48.367
  • Those things because sin has a way of changing everything.
  • 00:33:48.500 --> 00:33:51.737
  • Way of changing everything. usually it starts out just a
  • 00:33:51.870 --> 00:33:52.504
  • Usually it starts out just a little bit, you know and you

  • Three marriages. they finally got it right
  • 00:34:25.504 --> 00:34:28.173
  • They finally got it right because you see, even when they
  • 00:34:28.307 --> 00:34:30.743
  • Because you see, even when they married that second time they
  • 00:34:30.876 --> 00:34:31.510
  • Married that second time they were trying to work it out on
  • 00:34:31.644 --> 00:34:32.278

  • They doing their own thing. they were happy and everything
  • 00:34:35.247 --> 00:34:35.848
  • They were happy and everything was going well.
  • 00:34:35.981 --> 00:34:38.183
  • Was going well. but we are sinners, friends in
  • 00:34:38.317 --> 00:34:39.084
  • But we are sinners, friends in need of a savior and we are
  • 00:34:39.218 --> 00:34:43.022
  • Need of a savior and we are undependable.
  • 00:34:43.155 --> 00:34:43.455
  • Undependable. we are unpredictable and we are
  • 00:34:43.589 --> 00:34:46.625
  • We are unpredictable and we are easy to stray and that's what
  • 00:34:46.759 --> 00:34:50.496
  • Easy to stray and that's what happened to brandon again.
  • 00:34:50.629 --> 00:34:51.163
  • Happened to brandon again. even though everything had been
  • 00:34:51.297 --> 00:34:55.000
  • Even though everything had been going well then he came in to
  • 00:34:55.134 --> 00:34:58.570
  • Going well then he came in to the very most lost season of
  • 00:34:58.704 --> 00:34:59.438
  • The very most lost season of his life and i love what he
  • 00:34:59.571 --> 00:35:02.308

  • 00:35:02.441 --> 00:35:02.608
  • Said. i to that surrender moment
  • 00:35:02.741 --> 00:35:06.278
  • I to that surrender moment because you see that's what
  • 00:35:06.412 --> 00:35:09.748
  • Because you see that's what it's really all about.
  • 00:35:09.882 --> 00:35:10.349
  • It's really all about. we can try to battle it our
  • 00:35:10.482 --> 00:35:13.352
  • We can try to battle it our way.
  • 00:35:13.485 --> 00:35:13.619
  • Way. there's something in us that
  • 00:35:13.752 --> 00:35:14.353
  • There's something in us that thinks i can do this.
  • 00:35:14.486 --> 00:35:14.920

  • I've been here before. i can make it happen for a
  • 00:35:18.524 --> 00:35:20.959
  • I can make it happen for a season maybe, but in the end
  • 00:35:21.093 --> 00:35:25.464

  • 00:35:53.292 --> 00:35:55.828
  • Our identity and so we come to that place but at the foot of
  • 00:35:55.961 --> 00:35:58.931
