In this episode of Talks with Gallagher, John Gallagher hosts Mina Alexander, an ordained minister called to the Middle East, with a ministry focused on healing, deliverance, and supporting churches in regions under heavy persecution. Mina shares his powerful testimony of encountering God’s love in Egypt, being delivered from addiction, and how persecution and faith intersect to create resilience and revival in the Middle East. He also addresses misconceptions in the Western church and shares testimonies of underground believers, visions of Jesus, and the growing movement of Spirit-led Christians in nations like Egypt, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. This conversation will open your eyes to the resilience of Middle Eastern believers and stir your heart for prayer and partnership with the persecuted church. ✨ Support the future of this podcast at talkswithgallagher.com 00:00 – Welcome & Introduction of Mina Alexander 03:10 – Mina’s background: growing up in Egypt & family struggles 08:40 – Encountering God’s love at a worship gathering 14:25 – Freedom from addiction & transformation through the Holy Spirit 21:10 – Entering ministry: healing, deliverance, and missions in the Middle East 29:20 – Misconceptions Western Christians have about Eastern believers 36:45 – The reality of persecution in daily life 45:30 – Why persecution often strengthens the church 52:10 – Testimonies of underground revival & organic house churches 1:01:20 – Visions and dreams of Jesus in Muslim-majority nations 1:12:15 – The role of religious strongholds and fear in Middle Eastern culture 1:22:40 – Saudi Arabia’s surprising shift & prophetic implications 1:31:55 – Loving Muslims: why they are not our enemy 1:40:20 – Prophetic vision for revival across the Middle East 1:48:00 – Closing prayer & encouragement Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/talks-with-gallagher--6106098/support .
