This important podcast was suggested by one of our listeners:
One question that has come up in a number of conversations lately, especially with young people is:
“Isn’t it colonial of us to send missionaries?”
They’re not satisfied with a simple... “No, Jesus says go!” for an answer. We're grappling with this one
though, considering the good done in mission history, but also the negative, and the associations
with colonialism.
We recently heard of a young adult’s group at a Bible-believing church that doesn’t want to take a
mission course because “missions is too colonial.” How do we teach and help people through such
questions?
Do missionaries destroy culture? Do they do more harm than good? And isn't it colonial of Christians
to still be sending missionaries? Join us as we address these questions with Robert Woodberry,
surfacing the impact missionaries have had upon the world.
* Robert is the director of the Project on Religion and Economic Change and a senior research professor at Baylor University.
