| mrstickball said: JC could answer it a bit more exactly, but the answer is 'kinda'. A missions trip primarily involves giving aid to people in a country that have a lack of it. For example, a lot of missions trips may be to help build an orphanage, or school, or take a group of doctors/nurses to a country that has a lack of medical care. In addition to the aid, they try to share the message of Jesus with the people as well. Of course, they render aid/help regardless of belief, and will not discriminate against those that don't agree with them. Most American churches support this kind of activity. The church I go to sponsors a local nurse to travel to Mozambique for 6 months out of the year to help with their medical care. They support 4 other missionaries, but that is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. |
In other words it's all a conversion ploy to prey on the poor people of third world countries.
