“Great to be a missionary, but do it somewhere else.”

Missionaries go where they are called by God. They don’t go where it is safe, or fun, or reasonable by the the standards of a 21st century American.

Most Christians used to know this - it is pretty basic stuff. Again, if this simple Christian concept eludes you, then you really, really need to re-examine your doctrine, and who you have been listening to on Sundays.

Is the debate over where or if to treat the guy legit? Sure. But asking a Christian who is called to a dangerous mission field to find somewhere safer? That is actually an attempt to thwart God, and you’ll have to answer for it some day. Good luck on that.

Kent and Nancy are being set up to be scapegoats for the inevitable outbreak in this hemisphere.

I can’t believe Graham’s organization can’t see that.

Christ sacrificed his life. These missionaries should have sacrificed their lives, instead of putting everyone else at risk. That is the Christian thing to do. Now, they are being selfish, and running home for treatment.

Yes, and applies to many other comments/commenters over the past few days.

There are plenty of wacky missionaries. These are two of them. Same as doctors, bread bakers and ditch diggers, missionaries are not immune from being crazy. There are plenty of pizza makers who are also called upon by God to add extra pepperoni...or so they think
