In this show, John talks with a modern day hero about what it is like to serve God in a war zone. Canon Andrew White exercised a remarkable ministry of reconciliation in the Middle East as the Archbishop of Canterbury's political envoy to the Middle East. In that role he was involved in conflict resolution, and hostage release negotiations with some very high profile individuals. He then served as the Vicar of Baghdad from 2004 until 2014 and witnessed both incredible miracles and great tragedy as his congregation suffered much in the ongoing conflict in Iraq following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. That invasion was dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom by the US Military.
Canon Andrew White has great faith in God and is filled with expectation that even in deep trials the people of God can also expect the very real presence of God. His book, Glory Zone in The War Zone, recounts the stories of how God broke through the darkness in Iraq.
