The Quagmire of Modern Missions (#70) (Re-broadcast)

*Re-broadcast* - The Quagmire of Modern Missions (#70)

Original Description:

I interview Jim and Breanna Randall, missionaries (if you want to call them that) in Myanmar. We talk about the various pitfalls that are present in modern day missions work (bad actors, psychologists breaking their oaths to do no harm, donor fragility, American/White Exceptionalism, and more), as well as some more hopeful potential ways forward.

CORRECTION: I said Jamie Lee Finch was the “Worst Missionary,” but that is actually Jamie Wright
