Romans 10:14 asks, \u201cHow are they to hear without someone preaching?\u201d <\/p>\n

Dr. Pam Arlund, Global Training and Research Leader for All Nations International<\/a>, joins The Voice of the Martyrs Radio this week to share about John Chau\u2019s mission to North Sentinel Island, where he was killed in 2018. Arlund was part of screening John for mission service and training him to go and serve.<\/p>\n

As a teenager, John sensed God calling him to take the gospel to the Sentinelese people. For nine years, he prepared to go to the island, live among the people, learn their language and share Christ with them. John\u2019s story and legacy are being commemorated this year on Day of the Christian Martyr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Listen as Arlund shares her memories of John, including his hunger for training and knowledge and his in-depth preparation and planning for life on the island. She\u2019ll also talk about the days after John\u2019s murder, the extreme pressure All Nations leaders experienced from media and others, and the surprising response from some North American Christians.<\/p>\n

Pam also shares how we can pray for North Sentinel Island and for God to raise up individuals willing to heed His call to missions and to take the gospel to the ends of the earth\u2014even to places where Christian persecution is common.<\/p>\n
