An appropriate attitude for a mission trip

Start early in impressing on all going that they do not go for recognition, appreciation, to feel good, or help “poor souls.” They do these things as a response to God's grace. Appreciation, if given, is just a bonus. Sometimes the people will resent or distrust those that come in to help. This shouldn't matter to us. Expecting appreciation and warm fuzzy feelings is just paternalism.
