Nomadic Bedouins & Oil-Rich Arabs Artwork

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.

Nomadic Bedouins & Oil-Rich Arabs

February 02, 2023 • Frontiers UK • Episode 35

This week we meet 'Keziah', a Californian girl who moved to Jordan to live among poor, illiterate, nomadic Bedouins for 8 years before relocating to the Arabian Peninsular, where God called her and her husband to reach out to highly educated, wealthy elites.

These two different locations meant exchanging a world of sheep, goats and camels for skyscrapers, SUVs and designer clothes. But the task remained the same, to invite Muslims, with love and respect, to follow Jesus the Messiah.

It was a part of the world that she was initially frightened of, based upon the media and films she had been exposed to growing up in the USA. But her love for Arabs and that part of the world grew and grew, as she submitted to God's call on her life and experienced the Middle East for herself.

You'll hear about dreams, wearing the veil, friends who were murdered, an emerging fellowship of believers, a unwelcomed interference by other gospel workers that hindered the growth of the church and much more.
