Quote:Some missionaries have their hearts in the right place, but a lot just want those conversion numbers.To let you know, the missionaries that our church supports financially (which are not in Africa FYI) are directly involved in the community, and not so much with evangelism.
Quote:They should allow everyone to attend their schools, even if they don't attend the mandatory bible classes. They should offer their food and medical services to everyone, rather than just those who go to church. Missionaries typically help those who are interested in converting, not the masses.Not the ones that I know. Paul is superintendant at a church-funded community hospital in Nepal. Nepal is a bit like Africa - those who have illnesses like leprosy are typically outcast by their local communities. The hospital is there to treat them, and also provides a chance for genuine fellowship. No one in coerced into converting to Christianity, no one is turned away from the hospital. He's been a missionary there for something like 30 years now, I'd say that shows some pretty damn fine genuine commitment.
