text: I have done a lot of mission work myself in several locations. However, I can still admit there are huge problems with bigotry inside my church. Many people do these good works for a self-serving purpose. That doesn't diminish the good that is done though. Additionally, churches generally have other fund raising for these purposes and many missions are self-funded. Finally, a lot of these programs are government funded, so claiming to be against government involvement is also disingenuous.
