Hope talks about how her Middle Eastern experiences have brought a greater understanding of the original context of the Bible, how she uses stories to bring good news to her Muslim friends and neighbours and how God's Word has sustained her and encouraged her to keep persevering even in her first decade of not seeing much fruit and through expulsions and relocations.They also discuss cockroach infestations, karaoke and raising kids in cross-cultural environments.A great book mentioned in this episode is: Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes, by Kenneth Bailey 2008 SPCKSend us a message!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).
