[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would the community the trip is going to "serve" be better off if the full cost of the trip was donated instead? Then that's your answer.[/quote] The purpose of sending the children is to give them a firsthand experience with global poverty, one that they hope will last a lifetime. Because the average Christian does not share Jesus' attitude toward the poor, nor do we follow his commands toward the poor. Mission trips help to counter the prevailing opinion that the poor are where they are because of their personal failings, and that they are not deserving of help. This is antithetical to the words of Jesus.[/quote]
