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. 86 - 10 Myths about Mission & Missionaries
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode Matt & Mike do some myth-busting, challenging many of the half-truths and misunderstandings about mission in today's world.
Here are the 10 myths that they tackle:
1. There are churches all over the world. Our task is done.
2. There are too many needs around us.
3. Mission is everything we do. (Everyone is a missionary.)
4. We should just send money to local evangelists, who are more effective.
5. Mission is 'West to the Rest' (a neo-colonial endeavour).
6. Missionaries are super-spiritual - and I'm not.
7. Missionaries are super-gifted - and I'm not.
8. Missionaries receive a special call from God.
9. Missionaries have to give up their careers to go.
10. Missionaries live in mud huts.
