Today on the show, we are going to step back into the early centuries of the church to explore the lives of two extraordinary men: a man named Aba I, and another man named Timothy of Baghdad. Aba took a bold stand against false teachings, enduring imprisonment and assassination attempts. His conviction could not be broken.

A century later Timothy of Baghdad emerged as a brilliant theologian and philosopher. Timothy carried the gospel to some of the most challenging places in the world. Their stories remind us how God has advanced his church through unlikely people in difficult times and difficult circumstances, leaving a legacy that still shapes our faith today. To tell the story of these unknown missionaries, we're joined by Pastor and missiology professor James Fyffe.

Today, as a continuation of the Unknown Missionary series on The Postscript, we discuss the intriguing testimony and life (1887-1913) of missionary William Whiting Borden. Borden was a rich young man with incredible intellect and aptitude who gave everything he had for the cause of Christ. Provost of Living Faith Bible Institute Brandon Briscoe has invited James Fyffe, former missionary and faculty professor of Missiology at the Living Faith Bible Institute to have this conversation.

We continue our unknown missionary series with Professor of Missiology James Fyffe. This time we trace the conversion and missions work of Henry Martyn (1781-1812). Henry left a life of comfort and ease in the West to labor for 6 short and meaningful years in the work of Bible translation and evangelism. His legacy is felt most today from the Middle East all the way through India where his Bibles are still being used for gospel and discipleship-centered church planting movements. Henry shows us believers what it means to burn bright for the Lord Jesus Christ, heeding the call to world missions.
