One Man, One Ticket, One Mission: The Untold Story of Faith Under Fire in Northern Nigeria
What does it cost to follow Jesus in Northern Nigeria? For millions of believers, the answer is everything. In this powerful conversation, UPside Conversations host Marion MacKenzie sits down with Brad Brandon — founder of Across Nigeria — a man who left a comfortable life as a senior pastor in Connecticut, bought a one-way ticket to one of the most volatile regions in the world, and never looked back. Over 10 years later, Brad and his 100+ person team operate 23 ministries across Northern Nigeria: rescuing displaced families, running underground congregations, educating thousands of Fulani Muslim children, and bringing the gospel to communities where faith in Christ is a crime under Sharia law. Brad shares what he sees every single day on the ground — the widows, the orphans, the refugees who have lost homes, property, and children because of their faith. He also shares the extraordinary fruit: over 7,000 Muslims who have come to faith in Christ, former persecutors who are now pastors, and a growing coalition of believers refusing to be silenced. This is the story the world isn't telling. And it's one the church cannot afford to ignore.
