When considering missionary impact, many focus only on the bad. But Dr. Robert Woodberry doesn't shy away from that reality—he puts it in perspective with evidence-based research. Missionaries weren't flawless, and their work was particularly problematic when sponsored by governments or white settlers. But the data shows their average effect was remarkably positive, especially when they operated independently of colonial powers.
