• From Shame to Sonship (ft. Shahriq Khan)

  In this episode we meet a young ex-Muslim called Shahriq Khan, who grew up in New York to immigrant parents from Pakistan and India.  Shahriq in many ways embodied the American dream, the son of immigrants who achieved great success in education and business. But then he began to question the faith he had been raised in. And his searching led him to Jesus. His story has not been without many trials, including rejection, criticism and pressure from his family and friends to come back to Islam, and a season of partying that led to a period of deep depression and hopelessness. But the Lord’s kindness and grace has drawn him back into great community, where Shahriq testifies to a journey of healing and deliverance, growth and discipleship – and a huge heart to bring the gospel to Muslims and to teach others how to do so. Do check out his Instagram page @realshahriqkhan Or you can find him on Youtube @RealShahriqKhanAnd for training resources and to join the underground community, visit this webpage.Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his [email protected] can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr, if you're outside the UK, visit www.frontiers.org (then select from one of our national offices).

• Guns Under The Bed (Stories of Darfur)

  In this episode we meet Yasmeen, a lady from rural Switzerland who has spent more than twenty years in Africa.  You’ll hear about bold African evangelists forced to dig their own grave for preaching in a certain village, the beginnings of a movement to Christ in Darfur (in the midst of years of horrific violence and civil war), the smuggling of bibles in peanut sacks, and how Yasmeen’s husband was regularly interrogated by the police. This is a powerful story of incarnational love, of unlikely friendships, of Muslims finding the truth about Jesus, of hope for hopeless refugees in Sudan. Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his [email protected] can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr, if you're outside the UK, visit www.frontiers.org (then select from one of our national offices).

• 10 Myths about Mission & Missionaries

  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.Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his [email protected] can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr, if you're outside the UK, visit www.frontiers.org (then select from one of our national offices).

• From Mecca to Christ (ft. Ahmed Joktan)

  In this episode Ahmed shares the mind-blowing story of how he came to Christ from a very strict Muslim family background. He learnt the Quran by heart as a child, his father was a Mufti (a religious scholar) in Mecca, the birthplace of Islam. His tribe in Saudi Arabia is one of the most radical in their commitment to Islam and hatred of infidels, with several of them involved in the 9/11 attacks.But the prayers of some believers in New Zealand led to Ahmed having an amazing dream of Jesus, which changed everything. Years of rejection, ostricism and persecution followed his decision to follow Jesus, even bringing assassination attempts to prevent him attending church and sharing the good news. And yet he has persevered, refusing to give up on his Saviour and Lord.He now runs an online ministry into the Middle East, leading many Muslims to Christ and discipling countless others.Enjoy this incredible story, like a modern day version of the book of Acts! And do check out Ahmed's books and his website via these links.Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his [email protected] can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr, if you're outside the UK, visit www.frontiers.org (then select from one of our national offices).
