Frankly, if you have no chance of getting malaria or dengue fever you're not on a mission trip but a glorified "Christian" vacation. I've seen churches do mission trips to Ireland, Sweden England and other first world nations. Got to call bullshite on that.

I've been on mission trips to Alabama and Texas. Just because they have running water doesn't mean you there isn't a need that you can't meet while spreading the gospel.

Look at a place like downtown Atlanta in an area that is definitely not doing well. Families who are poor, barely have anything to their name, and their kids can often get swept up in criminal activity. Is reaching out to them just a vacation? Is doing something similar in a place like England a vacation?
