What Christian Missionaries Can Learn from the Peace Corp

Candid talk from Christian missionaries:

  • Do not expect a smooth ride.
  • Appreciate the fact that you are one of many who will advocate change and then leave.
  • You will not see tangible, measurable results in 2 years anywhere close to what you hope or expect.
  • There is no “us and them”
  • It doesn’t matter how right you think you are
  • Pay attention to the way you feel when you spend time judging.
  • Understand that your frustration is about you.
