   World Watch List: Egypt

   Tracing the blood-stained walls of a church, standing on tiles black with the echoes of an explosion, walking in the footsteps of a suicide bomber, and finding a pocket of heaven atop a mountain of garbage. Join Joyce as she reflects with Joel and Elly on their trip to Egypt, the lasting impact that it had on their faith, and the lessons we as Christians in Australia and New Zealand can take from those counting the cost of faith in Egypt.

   World Watch List: Central Asia

   Imagine a place where every single person in your community is on high alert, watching and waiting for you to make a single misstep that will reveal something that could put your life in danger: you are a Christian. Join Joyce and Sarah as they explore the pressure of persecution across the region of Central Asia, and what life is like for believers in some of these countries, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

   World Watch List: Colombia

   Colombia might not be one of the first countries you think of when you think of the persecution of Christians, yet it consistently appears in the World Watch List top 50. What does persecution look like in a country where the overwhelming majority call themselves Christians? How do cartels and organised crime drive the persecution of believers? And how does Open Doors seek to strengthen the Church in this unique context? Join Nathan and Adam as they explore these questions and more!
