  • Somalia - Too Hard for God? (ft. Shino & Shania Gabo)
    Jun 26 2025

    Message us here!

    In this episode former Muslims Shino and Shania Gabo tell their incredible story of coming to faith in Jesus.

    They both grew up in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, before the civil war broke out. Then they relocated to Europe.

    Shania's story of faith involves seeing a brutal act of violence online, followed by 2 powerful visions of Jesus. Her husband, Shino, spent years trying to convince her to return to Islam, all the while protecting her from the terrible threats against her from her own family and community. Eventually he too accepted the truth of the gospel.

    They now run a gospel media ministry through which thousands of Muslims in Somalia and around the world are coming to Christ. You can check it out and support their ministry here: https://www.scmediaministries.org/

  • Befriending Freedom Fighters
    May 17 2025

    Message us here!

    60 million Pushtuns live in Pakistan and Afghanistan. They are a people admired for their generous hospitality but feared for their warrior culture. It is often said that they are 'the best of friends and the worst of enemies'.

    In this episode Matt talks with an old friend and mentor, Dr. Len, who lived in Peshawar, Pakistan among the Pushtuns for many years with his family. He learned their language, their proverbs, their poetry - and how to share the good news of the Lord Jesus with them.

    Len exudes biblical wisdom and grace and a deep passion for those with little or no access to the gospel.

    Hear about how Len and Debi served the poor, regularly hosted the Mujahideen, the Freedom Fighters for dinners at their home, and how they helped Afghans arriving in the USA begin to adjust to a completely new culture.

  • My Prison. God's Silence.
    Apr 5 2025

    Message us here!

    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.

  • Overcoming Fear (ft. Jamie Winship)
    Mar 23 2025

    Message us here!

    In this episode Matt interviews Jamie Winship.

    Jamie tells some amazing stories from when he served in law enforcement in the Washington DC Metropolitan area, including a miraculous revelation during an active kidnapping case.

    He then goes on to explain how the Lord led him and his wife, Donna, to serve overseas and invite Muslims into the kingdom of God over many years in Indonesia, Iraq and Jordan.

    Jamie argues strongly that we should use biblical terms around the kingdom of God, rather than ‘conversion’ when talking about Muslims coming to Christ. He shares mistakes he himself made in his early years on the field.

    He also shares how the Lord taught him to love his ‘adversaries’, step into obviously dangerous situations (like a car full of Muslim extremists who wanted to execute him) and how to have a godly impact on diaspora Muslims in the West.

  • Inviting Muslims To Hear God’s Voice (ft. Donna Winship)
    Mar 12 2025

    Message us here!

    In this episode Matt interviews Donna Winship. She and her husband Jamie spent 25 years living and working in the Muslim world: Indonesia, Iraq & Jordan.

    In those locations their greatest joy was seeing Muslims discern the voice of God, enter into the kingdom, be healed and follow Jesus. Donna shares how they learnt so much about faith and mission from their own mistakes, from fellow workers and from painful trials (team-mates in Indonesia who were stabbed, others in Iraq who were shot and killed, a court case against Jamie for breaking Sharia law etc.).

    In the midst of it all, they have come to discover their God-given identity and His purpose for them and for the nations, something they now teach others how to do through their ministry called Identity Exchange.

    Donna also tells how she came to follow Jesus from a Jewish family background, with fascinating insights for those who work with Muslims or Jews.

    NB. This episode contains one harrowing story of sexual violence. In that regard, listener discretion is advised and it will not be suitable for younger children.
