Colombia might not be one of the first countries you think of when you think of the persecution of Christians, yet it consistently appears in the World Watch List top 50. What does persecution look like in a country where the overwhelming majority call themselves Christians?

How do cartels and organised crime drive the persecution of believers? And how does Open Doors seek to strengthen the Church in this unique context? Join Nathan and Adam as they explore these questions and more!

Join Anna and special guest, Jo Newhouse, from our Sub-Saharan Africa team as they unpack these questions and more on this episode of The Whole Story.
