section Summary
 
 
Akin to any Baptist upbringing are the words “missions” and “missionary”. Undoubtedly, most have filled plastic rice bowls, watched numerous slide shows of foreign lands and listened to stories of great Baptist women who impacted the world. Therefore, with such a heritage, one’s mind doesn’t often consider a time in which there were not such faithful witnesses to the “heathen”. The fact remains that for most of the history of the world, the idea and practice of missions as the Western Protestant mind knows it, simply did not exist. Instead, there arose certain events and shifts in the world (probably too many to even realize) which shaped the theology, worship and manifestation of the faith of Christians in such a way as to compel them to leave home and family in order to share the gospel of Christ with people who had never heard before.
