[Dr. Sivana]

Are missions to foreign lands undertaken at the expense of needs closer to home? From a monetary perspective, in Dr. Brantly’s case, the objective answer is a resounding yes.

I'll tell ya what, when someone is willing to make a stink over a spare plane filled with Obama's pals and 45 car motorcades being flown overseas for a LOT more than $2mil, I'll question the doctors risking their lives in Africa.

I always like to point out to our church missions group and the Christian private school my kids attend that goes on mission trips to Europe every year, there is no need to plan these mission trips to Europe, South America, and the like when you can find needy and unbelievers with 100 miles of your home. If you want to travel go to Appalachia or the deep south.
