"Mission": a ministry commissioned by a religious organization to propagate its faith OR CARRY ON HUMANITARIAN WORK (Merriam Webster dictionary)My good friend, a surgeon, went on a MISSION to Africa, and helped hundreds of very, very POOR children with facial defects get a chance at a normal life. Is that good enough for you? And yes, Mitt Romneys of his church made it possible. I frankly don't care that he wants to carry the word of his God to others. I am personally NOT religious, but I am glad that HIS CHURCH got enough charitable donations to make his trip possible.
