Eve and Kieryn chat with friend of the pod Anna Olson about the missionary and linguistic work of Wycliffe — one of the biggest bible translation/missionary organizations — what they do, their influence on evangelism, and lack of transparency.

Book about how being a bible translator lead to leaving the faith – https://bookshop.org/p/books/don-t-sleep-there-are-snakes-life-and-language-in-the-amazonian-jungle-daniel-l-everett/17860922?ean=9780307386120

When a missionary is killed by natives, what is the narrative and context for his decision to break international law and illegally enter their territory, and how do Christians see missions work when something like this occurs? What are short term missions all about and is it always colonialist work? How does Eve see her time in the Peace Corps as contrasting with missions culture in the church?

Kieryn and Eve address all these questions and more in this episode!
