In the previous two installments, we discussed colonialism and its counterpart, ethnocentrism; both of which are subjects frequently brought up as proverbial skeletons in the closet of the missions movement, especially when we talk about American Christianity. So in this episode, we’re hoping to steer this conversation to a more positive direction by asking this simple question: what is America’s role in missions today? What's the difference between help that helps and help that hurts? And how can Americans best utilize their gifts and blessings to serve the global church in a way that fosters meaningful relationships and authentic discipleship?
