I am stunned at ...your response.

First we think very much alike. Most of what I told you should have shown you that in my original post whether you saw it or not. I never once mentioned what our self-serving politicians blindly gave away and was siphoned off by various greedy politicians of the countries they were sent to. I have know all that for a long time.

What I clearly stated was what Christians give. A very few give blindly. The huge majority give hard and with much effectiveness, followup, and informed intelligence. Money, medical supplies, food, clothing and all the rest are delivered right to those meant to receive. Many times that is done at the risk of Christain helpers. Teaching people in their own languages to read and write, help set up small businesses, and many other venues of giving are done with great heart.

If you would like to check out a few sites where you can easily see for your self then go the following: Life Outreach International, Mission India, Voice of the Martyrs, Mission Without Borders, International Christian Concern, Samaritan's Purse, World Concern, World Vision. There are many more to numerous to mention. An easy half hour of googling could be very informative.

Let me know where you think we disagree.
