STOP Sending Missionaries! Richard Malm

Is it time we stop trying to change the world and start focusing more on ministry within our own borders? After all, nationals can do the work better and cheaper than foreign missionaries and, besides, everyone knows missionaries destroy beautiful native customs and cultures. Is it time to stop this product of colonialism? Richard Malm doesn't think so. In STOP he offers positive, thoughtful responses to six common objections to the missionary sending dilemma. If you've wondered if it is time to stop investing so much in sending missionaries then you owe it to yourself to read this book and at least consider these reasons that sending missionaries is just as valid today as it was 2000 years ago when the first missionary left his heavenly home, to travel to a depraved and fallen planet to bring the news that God in heaven loved mankind and has provided a way out of darkness and into the kingdom of light. Then, armed with the facts, you can decide for yourself if it is time to Stop Sending Missionaries. CHAPTER TITLES:
1. There are plenty of needs here at home.
2. National workers can do it cheaper.
3. Stop sending to already reached nations.
4. Missionaries destroy native cultures.
5. Stop sending unqualified missionaries you would not hire to pastor your own church.
6. Stop sending those who do not do "real" missionary work.
