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.

RAW Mission

Fleeing Genocide, Finding Jesus

December 20, 2024 • Frontiers UK • Episode 73

In this episode we meet 'Jacob', who has served in a very poor part of East Africa with his wife and four kids for more than a decade.

The refugees there that they live amongst have suffered terribly from a genocide that has led to the displacement of millions from their homeland. But in the midst of the pain and the trauma, many Muslims there are questioning the faith that they have been brought up in and looking for something else.

We discuss the challenges of living far away from a hospital, when dealing with typhoid, malaria, measles etc. - learning to find beauty amidst the brokenness and how life as a missionary is glorious, but not glamorous.
