Not this guy. He’s humble. He owns his mistakes and exposes some of the common errors that he and other Western missionaries have tended to fall into when making disciples in Asia.Find out what happened to an imam when he leaves his position in the mosque because of his faith in Jesus.Hear about how one local evangelist uses the Qur’an to persuade hundreds of Muslims to come to Christ.Andrew and Matt discuss, amongst other things, the importance of prayer, partnerships with locals, listening to those who have gone before us, the vital role that women play on church planting teams, and suffering for the gospel.Send 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).
