Season 4 of The Go and Send Podcast kicks off with a remarkable story of resilience, faith, and vision. Joseph Kebbie grew up as a pastor's kid in Foya, Liberia, until the Liberian Civil War tore through his childhood — forcing him, at just 12 years old, to flee across the border into Guinea and become a refugee. He witnessed unimaginable loss, including the deaths of his Sunday school teacher and a close family friend, and endured a harrowing river crossing to escape armed rebels.
Season 4 of The Go and Send Podcast kicks off with a remarkable story of resilience, faith, and vision. Joseph Kebbie grew up as a pastor's kid in Foya, Liberia, until the Liberian Civil War tore through his childhood — forcing him, at just 12 years old, to flee across the border into Guinea and become a refugee. He witnessed unimaginable loss, including the deaths of his Sunday school teacher and a close family friend, and endured a harrowing river crossing to escape armed rebels.
Out of that trauma, God began cultivating a vision in Joseph that would one day reach millions. After coming to personal faith in Christ and discovering a passion for media and radio, Joseph felt God's clear call to return home and start a radio ministry. What began as a single radio station broadcasting out of a shipping container — Vox Radio — has grown into a network of stations blanketing Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone with the gospel, and now a continent-wide broadcast reaching audiences across Africa through New Life Africa / Your Network of Praise.
In this conversation, Joseph shares powerful testimonies of transformation, talks candidly about the spiritual opposition he's faced along the way, and offers heartfelt encouragement to anyone wrestling with a call to missions. This is a story about how God can take the most broken circumstances and use them to change the destiny of a nation.
