Bringing Christ to the Frontlines: Stories From North Africa

A missionary to North Africa shares what life, work, and ministry look like in the heart of an unreached Muslim nation.

What does being a missionary look like among a totally unreached Muslim majority people group?

In this week’s episode, Alex and Scott sit down with Alan, an ABWE missionary serving in North Africa, who shares his experience of seeing God work in incredible ways among an unreached people group. Despite having a lucrative career in corporate America, Alan felt the call to go preach the gospel to unreached Muslim people, all at the age of 50.

Alan shares personal stories about the risks and rewards of serving in an unreached context, along with what he sees as the biggest need on the field.
