From the Sidelines to the Frontlines: Serving in the Trenches with the Persecuted Church

When we hear about thousands of Christians killed every year for their faith, or tens of millions living under extreme persecution, the numbers seem overwhelming and impersonal. From the Sidelines to the Frontlines will bring readers up close to those who have paid an enormous price to follow Christ, conveying not only their sufferings but also their overcoming faith. These believers are not just statistics but our family.

Greg Musselman shares his journey to a relationship with Jesus and how a sports broadcaster was given a new assignment as a voice to those who are persecuted—a calling that began over twenty-five years ago. Greg will relate how meeting Christians from all over the world has impacted his life and what we can learn from them, including the importance of forgiveness, how God uses persecution to advance His Kingdom, the value of having an eternal perspective, and why we need each other.

Go along with Greg to meet some amazing followers of Jesus and be prepared to be challenged and inspired.
