Mission Watch Network is a mailing list for discussion and "watch" of mission activities which directly affect indigenous communities.
At present there are not sufficient ethical guidelines on the part of Christian and other missions regarding their efforts to "evangelize" tribal peoples and much damage is being done to the long term well being of these tribal peoples.

Everyone is welcome to join this discussion, it is hoped that positive solutions can be found.
