3/2025:  I’m reminded of Sister Amy, an early 20th century Pentecostal preacher. Early in her career, she and her husband went to China on an Evangelist mission. It never worked: they were so struck by the differences between the two cultures. She couldn’t get used to the cuisine and he generally didn’t like being there, and they probably left with the idea that such missions are ineffective in forcing paradigm shifts. It might not work in music, either. It just turns out to be plain old music. In 2005, during the Bush administration, Evangelical Christians staged rock festivals in Morocco as a form of “foreign policy.”  It was like the 1960s for evangelicals, where they used music to rally public opinion, but again, it might just end up being plain music without promoting social change as intended. A Moroccan child's question, "What are evangelicals?", highlights a potential lack of understanding.
