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

Learning to Love Turks

May 26, 2022 • Frontiers UK • Episode 19

In this episode Matt talks with 'Diana' about her 25 years serving in Turkey.

As a Chinese-American woman, Diana has fascinating insights into Eastern cultures. She also talks about raising daughters in a Muslim context and how a godly marriage spoke volumes to many of her friends who lived under the constant threat of domestic violence.

She relates a frightening dream that her husband had, which God used to protect their family, a traumatic event for one of her daughters and deep friendship with Muslim ladies that often led to conversations about Jesus.

Diana also discusses times in Istanbul when she found it really hard to love those she had been called to serve and how she overcame that.

If you're interested in doing a short-term prayer trip to Turkey, do get in touch!

If you're in the uk, we would love to see you at our annual conference day, which is happening on Saturday 8th of November in Buckinghamshire. It's a great chance to connect with us, meet workers, hear their stories, and get equipped to reach out to your Muslim neighbours and friends.
