BBC World Service - Boston Calling, An Act of Faith

Two Americans in Lebanon on a mission from God to teach Syrian refugee children

Two Texan missionaries built a school for refugees in Lebanon. But it’s unclear if they understand the risks. 

Also: A Muslim doctor recalls when a patient refused to let him to treat her; ultra-Orthodox Israeli newspaper editors struggle to cover the US presidential race without printing pictures of women; writer Sabaa Tahir explains her vision of afterlife; and we learn about an ancient religion you've probably never heard of. Lastly, a Jewish family in New York sacrifices their first chicken.
