In this episode we meet 'Joanna' who has been living in a post-conflict Middle Eastern country for almost a decade.

She talks about working as a nurse with refugees and internally displaced people and shows the power of the gospel to tackle various forms of shame and stigma.

Caring for disabled kids and their families in a war-torn country, so many questions arise. Where does human value come from? Who defines our true identity? Who can ultimately bring healing to broken hearts and broken communities?

That’s how it starts. A step of obedience, a door cautiously pushed open, a ‘yes’ to God’s nudge to consider serving him amongst the least and the lost.

David Small ended up working for the Free Burma Rangers, living in a war zone, helping victims of genocide, hiking mountains and hacking through jungles to reach places where the NGOs don’t even go. If the army had caught him, they would probably have executed him.

In this episode, with humility, compassion and sensitivity, David recounts some of the traumatic experiences faced by the Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh. He wrestles with how to cope with so much human suffering and how to help in the face of such overwhelming need. Is it even worth it, when one’s own life is regularly at risk?

David now runs The Jungle Discipleship School in South-East Asia and is always on the look-out for volunteers to join him.

He’s also the author of a couple of great autobiographies, called Nameless, Faceless People and The Wandering Beloved – an honest look at disappointment with God and battling depression.

What's the value of a short-term trip? Can there be any realistic impact on locals or is it all about what God is doing in hearts and lives of those who go?

In this episode we hear from Zack and Hannah, who (along with various other young people) went on a week-long trip to Pakistan with Matt over the summer.

You'll hear about what it's like to share about Jesus on the streets and on public transport whilst travelling in Pakistan, as well as some of the challenges of life out there.

It was a week of divine opportunities, prayer & worship, sickness, police escorts and plenty of laughter - all the ingredients of a great short-term trip!
