RAW Mission

In this episode we hear from Pastor Sulaiman, who shares about the incredible difficulties of life as a Christian under Sharia Law in Northern Nigeria, as well as the constant threat of violence from the terrorist organisation called Boko Haram.
His personal stories are as troubling as his godly wisdom is inspiring, as he details the extreme persecution that so many have faced in his country.
NB. This episode contains stories of brutality and gender-based violence, so will not be suitable for some listeners.

What exactly is Christian mission? Is it inevitably linked to empire, to neocolonialism, to power dynamics? Do missionaries inevitably trample on the host culture with ethnocentric arrogance? Shouldn't we just leave others alone, with some kind of detached pluralistic indifference or vague anthropological notion of 'pristine' tribal people who ought not to have contact with or influence from outsiders?
This episode with author, Will Maxson addresses these questions, as we reflect on his latest book about mission and colonisation.
Will spent a few years in Afghanistan and now resides in the States. You can find more about his books here: https://www.willmaxson-author.com/

In this episode Matt interviews Andy, a straight-talking northern guy who loves Jesus and loves sharing the gospel with Muslims. 
He and his wife spent several years in a tough surveillance state in Central Asia, learning the local language and figuring out how to communicate God's love to local Muslims. It was a tough environment and eventually they and various others were forced to leave the country. 
They now are based in the UK, working with refugees and they continue to share the hope that is within them.

In this episode we meet a young German missionary, called Micha, who has spent years working with Sudanese across East Africa. 
It's been a rough ride in many ways for his family: a nasty motorbike accident, a cancer diagnosis, a military coup, an attack on the foreigners' compound. But through it all, Micha and his wife have sought the Lord and asked for wisdom about whether to stay or to go home.
At one point, their inspirational love for the local people even led them to live inside a refugee camp, in very poor conditions.

In this episode Matt talks to Layla and Stephen, a young couple who moved to the Middle East a few years ago to join one of our teams, but very quickly had a major setback to their plans, hopes and dreams.  
We discuss various disappointments and challenges (including how to cope with sexual harassment and severe physical limitations).
And, of course, there are the usual light-hearted moments and reflections on the joy of entering a new culture and seeing God powerfully at work in the lives of Muslims - including one amazing story of praying for a Muslim lady who, during prayer, saw Jesus in a vision and heard him speaking to her.
