Episode 185 - Sharing the Gospel with a Jehovah's Witness with Tony Brown

Listen in as Dan Carson talks with Tony Brown about sharing the Gospel with Jehovah's Witnesses.
Tony is a missionary / evangelist to those caught in New Religious Movements, especially Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons. As a former JW, he is keen to help Christians share the truth in love with those trapped in falsehood. He is a member of a counter-cult ministry in the U.K. named Reachout Trust., a charitable organization that reaches out to people in cults, educates Christians in how to share their faith with cult members, and publishes material that keeps people informed and equipped with biblical truth. Tony resides in Yorkshire in the U.K. with his wife Cath, and together they have three children.
