Hundreds of years of missions and billions of dollars hasn’t saved Africa yet.

Hasn't saved the Americas either. Hasn't saved Europe, hasn't saved Asia, hasn't save Australia, hasn't even saved Antarctica.

Shall we quit trying then?

You are never going to be able to save the world, just some of the people in it.

You and Twain share the PC view. And by that I don't mean political correctness, I mean Perfection or Crap.

Nothing that is done by people can measure up to your lofty standards. Which is why he wrote fiction I suppose. Reality was distasteful.

In Twain's case not even God measured up to his standards.

We don’t save people; God does. We are called to spread the Gospel everywhere, even the hardest place: at home. If your home is in a foreign land, then you are a missionary. Money given in faith is a sacred trust. There are people doing God’s work everywhere and I don’t mean to disparage them.

It is hard to convey some things in a limited forum, so I apologize if I’ve offended you.
