So from what I can tell from the story, a woman went to Uganda running the following organization.
https://servinghischildren.org/
She apparently had no idea what she was doing, and she is being sued and prosecuted for 100 child deaths. This is obviously an eggregarious case of misrepresentation and malpractice. However, I think it also should make us reevaluate the benefit of short-term medical and Christian missions. Personally, I think both kinds of missions are pretty worthless when done short term. I can see needing temporary labor to augment a permanent presence, like building a building, responding to disaster or blitzing an epidemic. Otherwise I think short term missions do more harm than good
