I have recently attended a church that is sending people to freaking Germany this spring. They send people to Haiti like every other week. They send people to Rwanda, etc.

It seems mostly like photo-ops to me.

So spreading the word to communities that may have never been exposed to God before is bad IYO, because it's too far away?

there really isn't anybody on staff to "help" local people when they need it.

waht local people have been turned away and denied help because there wasn't enough staff in the building that day? I'm quite sure you won't have an answer for that because you just made it up.

This "college kids" globetrotting is wasteful and narcissistic.

They're spreading the word. It's anything but narcissistic.
