Missions are run like a business. Missionaries are a sales force - get us the numbers! What was your experience?
Utah LDS church has 70,000 missionaries out in the world at a given time.
This former assistant to the president talks about how his mission president ran it like a business. They collected the numbers and incentivized the KPIs (Key Process Indicators) that got more baptism.
Megan makes a good point that the missionaries and converts happiness and wellbeing was not important.
My mission too was stressful and not about wellbeing. It was about numbers that we reported weekly. Could you convince people to be baptized- fast before they even knew much about the church?
