Chris.
I am sure the early modern missionaries had a very good concept of mission. The Gospel records the preaching of the Good News accompanied by healing and teaching. This healing does not just mean miracle healing it means all healing. The early modern missionaries planted hospitals and schools before they ever thought of planting churches. The preaching of the Gospel should not be neglected, it is very important for it Saves people’s lives. The opening of hospitals and schools that offer good health services and good education are very good ways in which to open the door for the Gospel.
