Well, when you come from a small town where everyone pretty much agrees on most things- and you are certain you have it right- it’s hard to accept the value of questioning- that’s not part of the vocabulary.

And, doubly hard to choose to leave home and meet the outside world, when there’s distrust of that outside world, from the get-go. And, an idea you are the one to change others. Rather than excitement or curiosity. Or acceptance. I’d say, be careful to remain humble.

Ald is right that evangelical trips are more common at religious schools. At many “liberal” schools, the intent behind study abroad revolves around “study,” not mission work.
