Modern Missionaries

August 3rd, 2006 by Carl Thomas.

Now, I am not putting down anyone called to the mission field. To pack up and move to a new locale, be it across the state or across the world, is a radical thing. But somehow, when I think missionary I think of Sumrall backpacking on a mule through Burma. Now please do not get me wrong. I have nothing but respect for those of you who have laid down all to follow the call.

But I read this article in Al Jazeera of all places. They talk about South Korean missionaries in Afghanastan. Now that’s radical faith. Didn’t they have to send that guy to France who admitted he got save 10 years ago to keep him from being killed?

I have written before about the United States abdicating its role as chief among missionary nations. In this case it makes sense. Americans are not exactly going to get the red carpet in the Middle East but still. I am provoked by this.
