Were Missionaries Good for Africa?

I recently joined podcast host Justin Brierley on the Unbelievable? show to discuss the question, “were missionaries good for Africa” (and elsewhere, as you’ll hear). We were joined by Victor Simz, known online as the Z Historian, is a Zambian historian who has charted the impact of missionaries in East Africa.

We share the nuanced story of missionary activity in the colonial and modern periods, and lessons that can be learned today by those who are trying to “make the world a better place.”
