Honest Mission Trip Leader

"I swear if one more person loses their passport!" Comedian John Crist is the honest mission trip leader.

"We do not have time to help that lady with her bags. The mission doesn't start until we get to the country." LOL

[taleahmiracle]

This is so sad but true. So many missions trips are hurting the third world communities instead of helping them. Thank you for saying this in a way that is funny and makes people think.

Boys and girls can't sit next to each other on an overnight flight. 😂

"Was this school painted last week by the mission team that came before us? Again, yes, but that's not important."

Do anyone in this group speak any Spanish at all? Nobody? PERFECT!! HAHAHA love your vids John

I posted pictures of myself with children from where I "served". I didn't even ask for their consent to plaster their faces oline. I deleted those pictures when I realized my intent in posting them was purely for self-promotion. My involvement in missions was not only meaningless, but destructive.

As a missionary I have seen both types of short term mission groups. The ones that come down with purpose and really doing change lives and eternities. And the others that are just here for a vacation, which is terribly frustrating.

Great video, laughed the whole time.

This is funny, but very true. Most so-called "mission trips" have almost nothing to do with actually reaching people with the gospel. They're more like vacations that people take to feel good about themselves.

As a Worker in a "prohibitive" country, I've appreciated each sentence and each utterance in this video. THANKS! Hope people get the message.
You know, sometimes more harm can come by these "short-term mission" trips than benefits. Hey, I can tell you stories!!

[oldwarrant]

I just came back from a trip where the pastor was telling everyone to keep the shopping trips and sightseeing on the down low so people back home don't get the wrong idea. Meanwhile his wife was putting everything on Facebook! Everything!

[Lily.valkyrie]

excellent point as usual, this was hallarious, Its good to remind ourselves of our own stupidity every once in a while, that we can easily fall back into sin if we have the wrong motives.

[jaimiekight]

Hahahahahahaha ALL OF THIS. my youth group mission trip memories

[floydkahue]

I am a Christian. I love this, and thank you for making it. We have no business sending our children out this way. They are immature and uneducated. And maybe we ought to focus on getting our own country in order first.

“What? No you CANNOT buy a djimbe! How are you gonna git that Home?!”😂😂😂😂

[Edbeatty]

😂😂😂maybe just send money to pay workers there 😂😂😂

[yltraviole]

Secular volunteer missions have this too, though!
"I'm going to Kenya to build a school!"
"... And since when are you a construction worker?"

[lasierramorena]

“We must never waver from our goal: to get pictures with minority children for our Facebook profiles” literally that’s what I hate the most about mission trips. Most of the time people use them to reinforce the notion of the “white savior” when honestly they’re usually doing more harm than good. Like he said in the video lots of countries have high unemployment rates and need those opportunities. But by going and providing material services instead of, you know, spreading God’s message, they’re doing those people a disservice and it’s so annoying when they post it on social media

[darinwood]

Ha...good one! Just remember, in a foreign country you are the minority.

Keep 'em coming👍🏾!

[fruitofspirit]

LOL! Ouch! Amen...you do hit the nail on the head, brutally. But we need to be convicted. You're hilarious, love ya, Man. I just hope you don't get hate mail from self-professing Christians. THAT would make for a skit, if you do.

"We do not have time to help that lady with her bags, the mission don't start till we actually get to the country." Lost it.
