Today is the first day of the fall semester for me. I’ll again be teaching Missionary Anthropology at Abilene Christian University. Having made the mistake of switching textbooks, I once again find myself scrambling to finish my prep at the last minute.

Getting ready for class, I ran across a short video by Paul Hiebert, the man who probably wrote more about anthropology and missions than anyone else in history. I love what he has to say about the need for partnership in missions, rather than paternalism. It’s only about 3 and a half minutes, but it’s definitely worth the watch. Enjoy!
