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

My Prison. God's Silence.

April 05, 2025 • Frontiers UK • Episode 79

NB. This is a story of abduction by extremists and there are mentions of torture. In that regard, it is not suitable for younger children.

In this episode we meet 'Jonathan' whose story is somehow chilling, gripping and inspiring all at the same time.

His imprisonment by Islamic extremists lasted for many months and, for most of that time, he never knew whether execution or release was the more likely outcome.

Contrary to his own expectations, he wrestled again and again with despair and with his inability to sense God’s presence or to hear his voice.

But eventually he was released and you can hear one of the most honest and faith-building stories you're ever likely to hear.
