When I was Baptist I met an ABWE Baptist missionary to Ukraine who was back in the US fundraising. Something about him struck me as off. Then later I saw his YouTube channel where he was blatantly lying about Orthodox Christians in Ukraine and I thought aren’t missionaries supposed to be honest? Then after the Russian intervention in 2022 he was interviewed by ABWE, and literally every word he said was a slogan or official CIA talking point.

So when Jay pointed out that tons of Protestant missionaries work directly with the CIA, I can say I’ve met one.
