Judd Saul is the founder of Equipping The Persecuted, an organization dedicated to ministering to the lost and persecuted Christians in Nigeria. The mission of Equipping The Persecuted is to take action to save lives and prevent terrorist attacks. Their goal is to protect, rebuild, and strengthen families enduring persecution by responding quickly to attacks with medical aid, food, and a prayer team to comfort victims.
Judd is a family man, award-winning documentary filmmaker, entrepreneur, and missionary who answered the call to serve in Nigeria in 2011. He currently resides in Iowa with his wife, Sherry, and their five children.
Also joining us is Sam Jones, pastor of Abundant Life Christian Fellowship in Humboldt, Iowa, and a member of the Equipping The Persecuted ministry team. Sam is a teacher to the Body of Christ, an avid podcaster, and a published author who focuses on the church’s role and responsibility in government and politics. Most importantly, he is a devoted husband to his wife, Sarah, and a loving father to their two sons.
In this episode of Theology, Things, & Stuff, Judd and Sam shed light on the increasing severity of Christian persecution in Nigeria, exposing the cover-up, compliance, and corruption within surrounding politics, while revealing the truth and sharing ways we can help.
