Oh please, not this false service junk again.
What, is there no one worthy of assistance in the US?
You have to travel overseas to help a needy person?
Charity starts at home, help those in you own neighborhood first. But then you would not get the T shirt that brags on your generosity. Now would you? Self serving hypocrisy....IMHO

Er... what's wrong with taking off two weeks to go on an Evangelism trip to Swaziland?

Assuming that L,TOWM lives to be a hundred years old (hey, why not?), these two weeks represent about 0.04% of his life. Surely you do not begrudge a fellow spending 0.04% of his life on overseas evangelism, do you?

What, that's entirely too much?

I once thought that way also, but them I realized that the great commission calls us to share the good news. That's it. Share it. Since the entire population in the US has "heard", and are aware, outreach is needed in countries where the good news has not even had an opportunity to be heard.

We are not called to change the hearts of men but simply to share the good news. Once it is shared it is up to that person to decide what to do with it. Whatever they chose will be between them and God.

Shows you haven't done much either here or abroad. I got the T-shirt for a local Habitat build, I got a cap from an overseas trip. The blood drives also used to be good for a t-shirt.

You might want to visit a Christian church sometime - you might learn something.
