  • Should I Stay or Should I Go?
    Jan 13 2025

    In this episode Matt talks with an old friend from the earthquake relief work in Pakistan. Andy Kampman grew up in rural Iowa, but in the winter of 2005 he responded to a call to spend a few weeks building shelters in the Pakistani Himalayas for the thousands who had lost their homes. Those weeks were hugely significant for Andy in terms of growing to love Muslims and wanting to share the good news with them.

    Andy shares various stories from times he spent in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Lebanon and how the Lord actually called him to stay in the USA - to motivate, encourage and mobilise others to go to serve amongst the least reached.

    Now based in Texas, Andy is part of a church that has, quite amazingly, sent out around 300 long-term workers in the last 15 years!

    He also runs an organisation called Launch Global, which prepares and equips workers to thrive on the field and partners with churches to help them send effectively.

  • Women Who Risk (ft. Joann Doyle)
    Dec 30 2024

    **WARNING**
    This episode contains harrowing stories of domestic abuse and suicidal thoughts, so is not suitable for younger children.

    This episode's special guest is Joann Doyle, co-author of 2 books: Women Who Risk, Secret Agents for Jesus in the Muslim World and Breakthrough: The Return of Hope to the Middle East. She is also the President and Founder of a ministry called Not Forgotten, which is all about bringing the good news of Jesus to Muslim women.

    She and her husband, Tom Doyle, whom I interviewed a few months ago, have worked in many Middle Eastern countries and have gathered numerous remarkable stories of faith, miracles and persecution.

    We discuss secret church, dreams and visions and many examples of women in the Middle East prepared to suffer the ultimate cost for following Jesus.

  • Fleeing Genocide, Finding Jesus
    Dec 20 2024

    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.

  • Saunas, Skiing & Spirits (Life in the Caucasus)
    Dec 2 2024

    **WARNING**
    This episode contains a harrowing story of domestic abuse, so is not suitable for younger children.

    In this fascinating and unusual episode Matt talks to 'David & Abigail', a couple who spent many years in the mountainous post-Soviet Caucausus region.

    Ministry to Muslims in this part of world is quite different to life in the Middle East or South Asia, with an entrenched drinking culture to navigate and regular saunas for the men, as well as the opportunity to go skiing in the holidays.

    Topics discussed include prayer, beaurocracy, public displays of affection, court cases, witchcraft and bible translation.

  • Learning from the Church in Iran (ft. Phil Moore)
    Nov 10 2024

    This week Phil Moore, church leader and author of the excellent Straight to the Heart Bible Commentary series, joins Matt to discuss his most recent book, called The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus, in which he shares stories and lessons learnt from the revival in Iran and its overflow in other nations.

    Post Covid 19, Phil moved on from leading a large and thriving church in SW London to focus on taking the gospel personally into the streets, bars and council estates in his neighbourhood, where he's looking to meet those who would not be likely to come to church. He has been inspired, mentored and taught by the leaders of the underground Iranian church who have drawn him back to some of the key teachings of Jesus in the gospels about mission.

    Phil challenges the church in the West to adopt a humble posture, to learn from where the church is growing and to consider radically different models of disciple-making that we have been used to.

    To contact Phil, visit https://philmoorebooks.com/contact

  • The Church of the Olive Grove
    Oct 21 2024

    In this episode we meet Dr. Pat Brittenden.

    Pat grew up in Algeria, served in Tunisia and has recently completed his PhD on the emerging Muslim-background church of North Africa. He works now for the Hikma Partnership, a partnership committed to encouraging BMB (Believers from a Muslim Background) research and writing.

    Pat shares some of the lessons learned from his years in Tunisia, amazing stories from colleagues around the 'Muslim world' (including an embodied visitation of Jesus to some Bedouins in Libya) and much more.

    For some excellent resources for helping us reach out to Muslims, to welcome BMBs/MBBs into our fellowships and to disciple those from Muslim backgrounds, check out the Word of Life website.

    Another great space for churches that are wanting to integrate believers from different cultural backgrounds in the UK is the Intercultural Church network.

  • Dreams & Visions (ft. Tom Doyle)
    Oct 6 2024

    In this episode Matt chats with special guest Tom Doyle, author of several excellent books: Dreams & Visions, Standing in the Fire and Killing Christians, to name a few.

    He and his wife, Joann, served in many Middle Eastern countries and have written about the stories of those they have met along the way, particularly Muslims who have had dreams and visions of Jesus or have suffered for their faith.

    Tom is now the President of Uncharted Ministries, who produce the excellent video series of Muslim Background Believer testimonies, called I Found the Truth.

    In this episode you’ll hear stories of a martyrdom in Saudi Arabia, a miraculous deliverance from a firing squad, incredible bravery in Gaza and various dreams of Jesus.
