Reaching Muslim Refugees With the Gospel

from The Missions Show · host Alex Kocman and Scott Dunford

In this episode of The Missions Show, Alex and Scott speak with ABWE missionaries “Will and Beth McAuliffe” (pseudonyms) about their long journey toward serving among Arabic-speaking people. After years of preparation and ministry in the Middle East, their plans were unexpectedly disrupted when their daughter was born extremely premature with significant medical complications. The experience forced them to leave the field and wrestle with whether their missionary calling had changed, ultimately leading them to new refugee ministry opportunities in Europe. Now living in Berlin, Germany, where thousands of Arabic-speaking refugees have settled, Will and Beth are creating unique opportunities for gospel ministry. Despite the challenges of a deeply secular culture and compassion fatigue toward refugees, they are building relationships, showing practical love, and pursuing church planting among Arabic-speaking communities across the city. Key Topics Will and Beth's lifelong calling to missions and ministry in the Middle East Navigating family hardships and their missionary calling after a medical crisis Reaching Arabic-speaking refugees in Germany The spiritual challenges of secular Europe and refugee ministry Do you love The Missions Show?
