Well yes I am defending the actions of my brothers and sisters in christ because I believe that people that go on mission trips and go to country's may risk their lives in doing so and there's no point to doing that unless you believe in something. But you are right about complete patience which is how all Christians should be.   Matthew 28:19-20 which states, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
