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.
They could probably find desperately struggling families in their own neighborhoods, as well. But I don’t see Coulter or Hudson or anyone being in a position to challenge a decision made by Dr Brantly and others over a very long period of time. Were it not for Western and Christian missionaries, all of Africa would be Muslim by now.
