Christians hold back from getting involved in mission because of misconceptions, a survey has found. On 15 February, Church Mission Society (CMS) revealed that the top four mission myths are: ‘Mission means we have to save the world’, ‘Mission is mainly about doing things for people in need’, ‘Mission is primarily a Western thing’, and ‘Mission is only for extraordinary people’. Naomi Steinberg, CMS head of communications, said, ‘There are many myths about mission out there; we know that today mission is a little word with a lot of baggage. Having taken time to listen to people's impressions of mission, our task now is to clarify what mission is - and isn't. The goal is to make mission easier for people to understand, and ultimately, to be part of.’ CMS has produced a Bible study series and videos featuring interviews with a variety of people involved in mission to untangle fact from fiction.
