Welcome!
Today, we’re talking about global missions.
Is global missions RACIST? Some postmodernists want you to think so.
In fact, a Wall Stret Journal article by David Hollinger stated, “Critics of Christian missionaries often write them off as pawns of imperialism, destroying native cultures as they spread their religion and their racist beliefs.”
But the truth is that Christian missionaries aren’t interested in rescuing cultures — they’re interested in rescuing SOULS.
As author Dave Davidson said, “If you found a cure for cancer, wouldn’t it be inconceivable to hide it from the rest of mankind? How much more inconceivable to keep silent the cure from the eternal wages of death.”
Missions isn’t colonialism — it’s sharing God’s salvation to a lost and dying world. Revelation 5:9 says that Heaven will include “every tribe and language and people and nation” (ESV), and it’s the job of missionaries to reach them.
And how else do global missions benefit the world? We’ll discuss that another time.
