International Christian missions is both exciting and critical. Through evangelical missionaries, the Gospel penetrates new tribes, tongues and cultures. Churches are planted, people are saved from their sins – the Kingdom of Christ advances.

As exciting and important as it is, few Christians feel like they have a solid grasp on the methods and practices that go into missions. Consequently, pastors, elders and everyday Christians have outsourced discernment for the missions they support to the “experts.”

However, some of these experts have been busy implementing practices that align poorly with Scripture. Few in the supporting churches may realize what they are helping push, but it’s time they lean in and learn.

In this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, Pastor Chad Vegas returns to the mic to provide helpful insights into the true state of modern international Christian missions. What’s really going on? Why do supporting churches need to weigh in?

Not only does Chad explore some of the concerns unfolding in missions, but he also highlights encouraging new resources that can help address the issues. These resources – like Missionary.com – will both inspire and equip pastors and churches to bolster their missional confidence.
