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.

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.

77 Days Behind Bars

In this gripping episode Matt talks to Brian & Jeleta, as they recall some harrowing events from the years that they lived in Cairo, Egypt.

Brian relates how he was taken away by the police in the middle of the night from his home, leaving Jeleta and their one-year-old son behind. He and his friends were imprisoned for sharing the gospel with Muslims, making disciples, distributing bibles and church planting. They were told they would be locked up in prison for 5 years.

We also hear about a devastating loss that they experienced while in Cairo and how family and team were able to support them through it.

Other topics covered in this episode include contextualisation, the role of retirees on church planting teams and famous Arab hospitality.
