Vision missions feed into the claim of the non- religious that short- term missions are self- serving- on top of the negative reputation that missions already have of being a medium through which colonialism decimated cultures. On the other hand, if missions are a serious profession and they want to recruit the best of the best and the purest of the pure, vision trips are a key part of the discernment process.

Their primary goal is to plant churches in unreached countries and people groups that contribute to the general well- being of the community they’re in- be it outreach for refugees and the homeless, teaching English, disaster response, being a doctor, or trauma counseling (and other related work).
