Excerpt from JP Moreland's "Love your God with all your mind"
I once attended a meeting of missionaries from around the world, at which a national Christian leader from Central America stood up and passionately exhorted North American mission agencies to stop sending evangelists to his country because their efforts were producing Marxists bent on overthrowing the government.
You could have heard a pin drop and confusion were written on everyone’s face… Evangelical missionaries would lead people to Christ, but the liberals were attracting thinking leaders among the converts and training them in Marxist ideology, identified as the true center of biblical theology.
The leader pleaded the North Americans to send more theologians and bible teachers and help set up more seminaries because the need for intellectual leadership was great. (And you wonder where the Sandinistas came from!)
