In this episode Matt & Mike do some myth-busting, challenging many of the half-truths and misunderstandings about mission in today's world. 

Here are the 10 myths that they tackle:

1. There are churches all over the world. Our task is done.

2. There are too many needs around us. 

3. Mission is everything we do. (Everyone is a missionary.)

4. We should just send money to local evangelists, who are more effective.

5. Mission is 'West to the Rest' (a neo-colonial endeavour).

6. Missionaries are super-spiritual - and I'm not.

7. Missionaries are super-gifted - and I'm not.

8. Missionaries receive a special call from God.

9. Missionaries have to give up their careers to go.

10. Missionaries live in mud huts.
