In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones sits down with Pastor Osaro-Martins Edokpolor from Lagos, Nigeria. Osaro shares the profound meaning of his name, Osaru, which translates to "God is alive" a truth that has consistently shaped his extraordinary journey. He opens up about growing up in a rural community with peasant farmer parents who weren't Christians, his early introduction to faith by German missionaries at age 17 who planted a church in the deep jungle, and the tragic loss of both of his parents within an 11-month span when he was just 19. He vulnerably recounts a painful season in the city when he was suddenly asked to leave his aunt's home at 11 p.m , leading to a desperate search for shelter. It was during a grueling seven-day dry fast urged by his brother to turn to God when all human doors had closed that God revealed His calling for Osaro's life.
Listen in as Osaro discusses his ministry's greatest challenge: helping people transition from viewing Christianity as a mere religion to experiencing it as an active relationship. He also shares his massive vision for Joliet FM, the digital radio station he co-founded to broadcast the gospel globally. If you are facing a closed door or feeling stranded, Osaro's passionate conviction that a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit is the ultimate catalyst for transformation will deeply revive your faith!
