What do Americans know about the world?
This video is pretty disturbing even if it was edited to accent the humor. While you will not want to take it too seriously, it may provoke some interesting conversation to begin a mission committee meeting!

Thanks for posting this, Tim. I think this video helps underline the importance of mission personnel such as your family. People learn through relationships or because something is brought to our attention in a memorable way. This was impressed on me when I was 17 and was an exchange student in Finland and could think about why people there learned what they did about other languages and people. The power of the US keeps us from having to learn, even while that same power means the world really needs us to learn. Relationships of congregations with mission workers like yourselves can become a natural bridge into learning. Keep up the good work!
