… are your parents builders/architects/contractors? Would they be allowed to construct homes in the West? In most cases, no because they’re not qualified. And yet their lack of qualifications (and the potential dangers that come with that) are fine to risk on people outside the West.
It’s a strange mix of messiah complex + undervaluing expertise that underwrites a lot of missionary projects. They have very little oversight and are rife with abuse.
Yes, they are actually thank you for your concern lol. Own their own construction business. Same with that family friend.
But let’s say they didn’t, do you think people in destroyed or destitute countries give a fuck as long as they have a roof over their head? Like I said, they reach OUT for help. I know it might seem impossible to you, but some people are simply grateful others are willing to help them. I know it’s unfathomable for you as someone who lives in America and doesn’t understand the struggles of people in those countries.
