Amazing organization - Full Time Missionary Overland Missions Employee Review

Great team to be a part of

none that i can think of

• You will gain exposure to high-stakes, cross-cultural fieldwork that pushes you outside your comfort zone. • If you are discerning, the experience teaches you what not to replicate in ethical, justice-oriented ministry. • Strong community and shared purpose among some peers.

• The theology is rigid, whitewashed, and culturally insensitive—non-Western perspectives are often dismissed or demonized. • Leadership cultivates a hyper-masculine, militaristic culture with little tolerance for critique or theological diversity. • The founder is treated with near-apostolic reverence, discouraging accountability and healthy organizational reflection. • Missionary work is framed as a conquest rather than relationship—promoting a savior complex rather than solidarity. • Diversity is performative. As a person of color, I often felt tokenized and spiritually gaslit when raising concerns. • Indigenous voices are co-opted, not empowered. Cultural erasure is disguised as spiritual deliverance.
