Season 3, Episode 14: A Christian missionary was kidnapped in the heart of Niger's capital

On this episode, Gavin takes a stroll down memory lane and talks in depth about Niger, a key country in the Sahel region of West Africa.

Since October 21, Niger has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Just 100 yards from the Presidential Palace in Niamey, the country’s capital, Kevin Rideout, an American missionary and bush pilot was kidnapped by jihadist terrorists and is currently being held for ransom. Our hearts, thoughts, and sincerest prayers go out to Kevin, his family, and his congregation.

What does this event mean for the country and the United States (and Americans in Niger) at a critical time for the country? Listen in and find out.
