Although half the countries in the world today forbid the Western missionary, now the native missionary can go to the nearest hidden people group.

But one can't kick out internal terrorists as easily.
Yet 'native' missionaries are extremely dangerous. After all, one has only to recall what the 'native' christoterrorist missionaries of Korea did to their country.
If I were a christo, I wouldn't want to be called a 'native missionary'. Good native, good dog. All's fine as long as you don't presume to be their equal.
That reminds me: it's so interesting to find that when WASPy christians describe christo heaven, it sounds mighty segregated too. They allow that all kinds of christian people are in heaven, but nevertheless everyone 'in their place'. Native missionaries too, of course.

How native missionaries are to become a stooge for the christos from the west:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->So, are native missionaries prepared to carry on cross-cultural evangelism? The answer is yes, and with great effectiveness! Most of the native missionaries we support, in fact, are involved in some form of cross-cultural evangelism. Often, GFA evangelists find they must learn a new language, plus adopt different dress and dietary customs. However, since the cultures are frequently neighbors or share a similar heritage, the transition is much easier than it would be for someone coming from the West.
They are Asians, many of whom already live in the nation they must reach, or in nearby cultures just a few hundred miles from the unevangelized villages to which they will be sent by the Lord. The situation in world missions is expressing only when you think of it in terms of 19th-century Western colonialism. If the actual task of world evangelization depends on the âsending of the white missionary,â obeying the Great Commission truly becomes more impossible very day. But, praise God, the native missionary movement is growing, ready today to complete the task.
Christians need to learn that they are not giving their money to native workers, but Godâs money to His work overseas. Making a sacrifice for one of the unknown brethren â supporting his work to a strange people in a strange place, using methods that are a mystery to you âdoes take humility.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->'Strange people, strange place' - how condescending. Typical. 19th century colonial missionary impressions have never been abandoned.
Up the points in christo missionaries' heavenly scorecards whenever they add another one to non-existent gawd's collection.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Christians in the West must abandon the totally unscriptural idea that they should support only white missionaries from America. Today it is essential that we support missionaries going from south India to north India, from one island of the Philippines to another, or from Korea to China. Unless we abandon the racism implied in our unwritten definition of a missionary, we never will see the world reached for Christ.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Get used to it. Christianity is racist, because it's intolerant. It will not change.
More christian bigotry and more of their 'logic':
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The masses of India are starving because they are slaves to sin. The battle against hunger and poverty is really a spiritual battle, not a physical or social one as secularists would have us believe. The only weapon that will ever effectively win the war against disease, hunger, injustice and poverty in Asia is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Christos won't ever learn (and if they do, won't ever admit) that christianity which came with the swell christo Brits and christo Portuguese is to blame for the poverty. Using their logic christianity equates to sin (if I believed in their notion of sin).
First the christians come and colonise, stealing all our accumulated wealth and reducing us to famine and utter poverty and then they come again 50+ years on and have the nerve to talk about how, because we lacked their christoterrorism, we're poor and malnourished. Either they are really, really ignorant (christoterrorists are undereducated after all, what with learning Unintelligent Design and all) or much worse.
The content at that Gospel for Asia page is predictably embellished with many sobstories of martyrs, to make any christo reading it teary-eyed and thus more eager to donate to the holy cause.
But it's a comforting illusion. Little do they know how unreliable most of these 'native missionaries' - as they are called - are. Mudy's post 85 is a case in point.
Christian storytelling about persecution and martyrs is not in the least reliable either, as by far most tales of christo martyrdom in the Roman empire have been shown to be entirely fictitious by martyrologists; and in fact, the people who were martyred for their religion were Romans of the Old Religion. Can we trust the martyrdom tales christos write today? One has but to read about how christoterrroists are terrorising the unsaved Akha hill tribe of Thailand and genociding the unconverted native Americans of South America to decide.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Moses Paulose, who is today one of the native missionaries we sponsor. [...] God called Paulose and his family to take the Gospel to the unreached fishing villages of Tamil Nadu on the East Coast of India.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->I think there was some passing defender of the holy faith going by that unique name here at IF. I'd never come across the name Paulose before, until then. And now again in the Gospel for Asia page. Is that like some Indianised version of Paul?
