I just saw this on another thread about missionaries. Thought it was relevant.

I love missions!!!!! I think I've been around the world twice in supporting missions. But the one thing I have against the American missionary program is that we have focused too much on sending Americans to live luxuriously in foreign fields, and not enough time raising up national leaders. The national leaders we have raised we've made too many dependent on us instead of on God.
In other words, I agree with what you just said
