From Refugee to Rescuer
Joseph was born and raised in Liberia during a time of severe Civil War. He hid to avoid becoming one of the Lost Boys, and he and his family fled and became refugees. But through it all, God had a plan for this young boy. The Refugee would become a Rescuer, sharing the gospel with the lost. Hear his powerful story when he joins guest host Collin Lambert on the next edition of Equipped.
