RAW Mission

RAW = Radical, Authentic and Worldwide. In this podcast you can hear real-life stories from those taking the Good News across the world to the 1.9 billion Muslims who have little or no access to the gospel. The interviews present authentic stories of joy and frustration from ordinary followers of Jesus, with a radical calling to abandon the security and comforts of home. Catch hold of God’s worldwide heart as you hear how they obeyed Jesus’s command to go to all nations — beyond Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria — to the ends of the earth. To connect with us head to www.frontiers.org.uk or email matt@frontiers.org.uk “Missionaries are very human folks, just doing what they are asked. Simply a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt Somebody.” (Jim Elliot) *Please note, many of the locations are unspecified and names have sometimes been changed to protect the identity of the interviewees and their communities.

RAW Mission

15 Years In the Desert

July 13, 2023 • Frontiers UK • Episode 45

How do 2 people with no particular overseas 'calling' end up living and raising their family for many years in the desert?!

In this episode we meet John, who’s been serving the poor in North Africa for 15 years.

We talk about some of the challenges that he and his wife have faced adjusting to North African culture, the false dichotomy of ‘salvation or social transformation’ and working with the marginalised, whether that’s vulnerable women, nomads, or the disabled.

He also shares how he got into App development, social media outreach and the joy of working alongside local Muslim-background believers.

As mentioned at the end of the episode, we have our Neighbours and Nations Day on the 23rd November. If you'd like to find out more find the details here.
