Their testimonies are disturbing, and the situations they describe tend to contrast with the materialistic living in the western world. Develop a 'national church can do it' attitude. Never investigate the percentage of the population they constitute, or the severe limitations of their resources. 6 Focus your attention on the evils of your own society. All fair-minded Christians will applaud your concerns about the 'unsaved right here in our own country'.
Mission begins at home.
Make sure it finishes there too. Always keep in mind your past failures. Of course, ignore the examples of Peter, Moses and Paul. Always look at those involved in mission as super-spiritual people with extraordinary gifts and saintly characters. This will heighten your sense of inadequacy and remove any guilt complex about trying to be like them.
