Missionaries Neglecting Local Communities

He suggests that this prioritization is misguided because the US faces many spiritual needs and that people's spiritual and physical needs should be addressed equally in every community. The speaker believes that people should focus their efforts on the needs of their neighbors and communities before going abroad.

College Campuses as Mission Fields
