Fyre Festival can teach us about Mission Trips.

In 2017 we all watched documentaries on the disaster of Fyre Festival. While we enjoyed the memes and daydreamed about how we could plan a festival way better than Billy and JaRule, I think we missed a critical issue. Fyre Festival exploited the Bahamian people and never restored what they had ruined. If you look up Mission Trip blogs and posts you'll see people are critical of how they can be constructed to further colonialism and increase the white-savior complex. This week we will discuss the truth in that criticism but also establish how we can partner with the world and honor the sacred.
