The Mission

THE MISSION isn’t journalism—it’s anti-missionary propaganda exploiting John Chau’s martyrdom. This doc uses "exclusive interviews" and footage to frame his obedient death reaching Sentinelese for Christ as "fanaticism" and "exploitation," not bold evangelism. It blurs lines to equate Gospel witness with colonialism, ignoring Chau’s voluntary sacrifice, prayerful prep, and love for the lost—twisting Acts 1:8 into "destruction." No balance: skips thriving missionary success stories, indigenous conversions, or biblical Great Commission mandate. Cherry-picks tragedy to shame cross-cultural faith, appealing to woke anthropologists who celebrate isolation over salvation. Watch knowing it’s secular activism, not truth.
