These strategies report explosive movements of people turning to Christ but their claims are often dubious and they do little to ensure the health of believers or churches that remain.

These great missionaries didn't rush evangelism; they spent time studying Scripture mastering foreign languages and building long-term relationships. Rhodes explains that modern missionaries' emphasis on minimal training and quick conversions can result in slipshod evangelism that harms the communities they intend to help. He also warns against underestimating the value of individual skill and effort―under the guise of getting out of the Lord's way―and empowers Christians with practical biblical steps to proactively engage unreached groups.</span></p>
