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 2 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.

Ep. 16 - A Jew to Muslims: Storytelling (Part 2)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we pick up where we left off from last week's interview with Martin Goldsmith.
Martin talks about the importance of storytelling and how parables can be reframed for an Islamic context.
He also talks about an occasion when some young men threw stones at him for talking about Jesus!
We discuss colonialism, slavery, gender stereotypes in other cultures and whether it's appropriate to use the name Allah when talking about the God of the Bible.
Martin Goldsmith is something of a legend in the UK, as an author, speaker and long-term missionary in South-East Asia. Now 87 years old, he has been married for 60 years.
He has spent his life studying & teaching God’s word and sharing the good news with people from all over the world. He is a brilliant storyteller and has a cheeky sense of humour!
