This content creator says Christians should stop doing mission trips—claiming they’re just for show, not real aid, imperialistic, and driven by a “white savior” complex. In this video, we take each claim one by one.

Mission trips aren’t perfect—some really are photo ops. But does that mean all missions are bad? Of course not. In reality, many mission teams provide medical care, clean water projects, education, and serve under local church leadership. And Christianity has always been both/and—meeting physical needs and spiritual needs, just like Jesus did.

We’ll talk about:

✅ Why the “hasty generalization” fallacy fails

✅ The false dichotomy between humanitarian aid and evangelism

✅ Why truth transcends culture

✅ The myth of the “white savior” stereotype

✅ What actually motivates most missionaries

Bad missions exist—but that’s a reason for better missions, not no missions.
