Ep.108: Anonymous Venezuelan Pastor on Ministry Amidst Oppression

Noah interviews a Venezuelan pastor who must remain anonymous due to repercussions for anyone who speaks out against corruption in the Venezuelan government. In this one-of-a-kind interview, you'll learn from the valuable perspective of the global Church, about challenges facing churches and pastors in Venezuela, as well as how immigration has shaped the country and life-on-life ministry. 
 
Please pray for our pastor friend and support his ministry with a financial gift. You can send donations to www.noahfilipiak.com/give using the "Venezuelan Pastor" Fund. Noah will send donations to the private ministry partner (a mutual friend of Noah's) who raises funds for Pastor because the government won't allow for formal donations to be given without bribery.
