I have a friend whose daughter just went on a mission. I asked her what kind of things they would be doing in Africa while there and she told me that on the first couple days they would be going into the slums to spread "hope" and then going into the bush in order to talk to the natives about God because "they practice really scary voodoo religion!" Not taking food, water, supplies, etc. Just a bunch of middle class, white Christian teenagers going to Africa to convert the poor, poor souls. Made me so mad.
