I never understood missionaries and do-gooders flying off to far-off places to help foreign nations. You will find enough poverty in your own backyard. Perhaps it doesn't sound so glamorous when you tell people you are preaching and helping out the less fortunate in your local community.
I’ve straight up started getting on to those people - “Our cup overfloweth not. Why do you seek to spread the message among other nations when we have so much trouble here? Are you going for the missionary work or the travel opportunity?”
Not that I’ve done nearly enough work in that area myself to be judging anyone, just that if the goal is to spread the kingdom, dollar for dollar we have much more opportunity here, and encouraging people to be honest with themselves.
One of my brothers did missionary work. I asked him that very question. His response was that the US has so many laws, regulations, prohibitions, and barriers to their being able to do the work in the US, it's much more feasible to go out of country. Your deep state government at work.....

"Are you going for the missionary work or the travel opportunity?”
No, they're going for the virtue-signaling points.
That and you can't help people that don't even help themselves
