Question Week: Is a Re-education Necessary About Missions Today?
Posted by C. Holland on Jul 03, 2009Last one for Question Week:
Is a re-education necessary in churches and amongst evangelical Christians about modern missions?
I say this because of all the odd statements I’ve received over the years in missions ministry. If you’ve read even half of this blog so far, you’ll understand what I mean. From statements I’ve heard about missions only being valid in the 10/40 window, or enforced prayer at Christian schools for missionaries, peoples’ perceptions that the missionary actually does very little, to thoughts conveyed to me that missionary living equals impoverished, yet our pastor can’t be seen to live like that—I just wonder if churches are missing the boat when explaining the concept of being a missionary, especially what that means in today’s world.
