Bad Missionary Practices Damage Generations | Zane Pratt

Most people think missions is simple. Share the gospel. Help people. Move on. But that’s not what Jesus commanded. In this conversation, Zane Pratt breaks down what missions actually is and where most modern approaches go wrong. Some focus only on conversions. Others replace the gospel with humanitarian work. Both miss the point. We cover: • Why missions is more than getting decisions • The difference between converts and disciples • Why the local church is essential to the Great Commission • The danger of reducing the gospel to a formula • What real biblical mission strategy looks like • How to evaluate a missions organization before you go This isn’t just about missions. It’s about whether we actually understand what Jesus commanded.
