The At Risk Radio Podcast

From Dyslexia to Bible Translator

In this episode of At Risk Radio, learn how God worked in Tim’s life (with Wycliff Bible Translators and now with Ethnos Canada) to transform him from a 14 year old boy who didn’t like books or to read, to a missionary who spent over 29 years learning a foreign tribal language and then translating the Bible into their language. Listen to how God providentially brought Tim and other like-minded believers together (many of whom you have heard on these podcasts) to accomplish what only God can do.

Not only were the translated Bibles delivered to this tribe, but Tim also delivers a 30 minute daily radio broadcast that reaches these isolated people in their own language to help them go deeper into God’s Word. 3,000 short wave radios were provided to the tribal peoples in remote areas. This is Episode 1 of an enlightening story of God developing Tim as a leader, as well as God motivating others to help accomplish much for His Glory.

Theology of Persecution - Part 2 from Riadh

The Theology of Persecution

In this episode of At Risk Radio, listen to David Witt, CEO of SOM, International and Riadh, Vice President of International Ministry and Operations for The Voice of the Martyrs, Canada.

Riadh explains his experience with persecution when he started the first Arabic language broadcast of the Gospel from France. His media center served 25 nationalities. Riadh also describes a course he teaches: Theology of Persecution, based on Scripture. Christian leaders need to be trained in how to serve new persecuted believers so they aren't shaken and cave into pressure from family, neighbors, etc. and compromise or even go back to their former false religion. Hear what happens in France after death threats and more, with no guarantee from police for protection.

The Remarkable Story of Riadh’s Journey From Islam To Christ

He wanted to know God and providentially listened to a Christian radio broadcast from Cypress in 1988.  Riadh mailed 95 pages of questions to the address they provided at the end of the broadcast.  Within two weeks, people from this ministry mailed back patient and respectful answers to his questions. Listen to how this created a path that led to his personal relationship with Jesus Christ, as well as leading him to help plant a church in his hometown in north Africa.

In part two, coming soon, Riadh explains his experiences with persecution which prompted him to serve persecuted Christians around the world.
