Christian Group Drops Indonesia Orphan Conversion Plan

Reuters, Jan 13 2005
Washington, USA -- An evangelical Christian charity has dropped plans to settle 50 Muslim children orphaned by the Asian tsunami in a Christian-run home after the Indonesian government blocked the move, the group said on Thursday.


Virginia-based World Help has raised $70,000 to place Muslim children in a Christian orphanage near Jakarta. But the group's president, the Rev. Vernon Brewer said it suspended fund-raising on Wednesday after Indonesia said Muslim children could not be raised in a non-Muslim home.

"Once we realized that the government was not going to grant permission yesterday we took that fund-raising appeal off of our Web site," Brewer said in a telephone interview with Reuters.

The plan drew criticism from Muslim groups which said it would take advantage of people in a position of need. Many religious charities prohibit mixing relief efforts with proselytizing.

"This confirms some of our worst fears that certain missionary groups would exploit the tragedy and the earthquake to enter into these areas and convert people through use of a disproportionate power relationship," said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"How many incidents of this type are taking place that we don't hear about?" Hooper said.

WorldHelp raises money for charity efforts and also seeks to win converts to Christianity by building churches and distributing Bibles, according to the group's Web site.

Members of the group "will travel to the country of India, where God is overcoming hundreds of years of false religions and idol worship," a message on the Web site said.

"We're really not trying to proselytize," Brewer said of the group's orphanage plans. "It's no different than what Mother Theresa did by taking Hindu orphan children and placing them in a Roman Catholic children's home in Calcutta, and she won the Nobel Peace Prize for doing that."

The group had planned eventually to house a total of 300 children. The money raised so far was enough to house 50 orphans for three years in an orphanage run by World Help partners Henry and Roy Lanting, Brewer said. The group now aims to find 50 Christian orphans for the home, he said.

World Help has raised $200,000 over all for tsunami relief efforts, he said.

Indonesia, alarmed at reports of possible child-smuggling or exploitation following the Dec. 26 tragedy, has already announced a ban on foreign adoptions of orphaned children.

i think it's somewhat her dislike of Christians and Christianity rather than the fact that some people exploit others.

I couldn't care less if they were Christians, not because I'm Christian (not that it matter because they are of different denomination), but the fact that people are using catastrophic happenings to prey on people.
If they were Muslims, Buddhist, Communist or capitalistic Profit organizations trying to gain something from tragedies is something to be angry about. Not because they are a certain group of people.

Well, you have to understand it`s how you perceive christian religion to begin with. I have never seen any aggressive missionaries forcing people to do anything. The people in my church build homes for poor people in their countries. We take up offerings from people in church who are not rich at all to support missions for other poor people in other countries. Helping people and telling people about Christ is not a bad thing at all.

You make the choice of wither or not you choose to convert or not. No one forces anything on you!

Let’s talk about African slaves believing the white man religion. It’s bull......The European or white American gain nothing in teaching about the Christian religion....because it’s a Jewish religion, not a European or white American religion. When you learn the Bible you understand that it’s paints white people in a bad shadow as well as anyone who does evil deeds from all cultures on the planet.

This doesn’t help white people brainwash people, it hurts them. If you know anything about the Bible Jesus people aren’t white American nor European....they are Jewish people. How are white Americans gaining anything by speaking about Jewish people? laugh.gif

Let’s take about slavery. It` seems Asian and Indians have a very short memory of how slavery effected them only many seem to think it effected black people only, (Now that’s a theory taught by white people).

Now, Asian have been enslaved by themsleves, whites and Japanese. India has an origin of being African people to begin with and enslaved just as well. As well as God’s own chosen people the Jewish.

If Jesus walked the earth as a peasant and slave to show people that poor people were very important and that he loved them even more so. That man should not be so focused on the riches of the world, but more on building relationships with people.....poor people and slaves.

Is it funny how everyone associates slaves as being only black when it was Jews enslaved by the Romans, Egyptians and even recently the Germans? eek.gif

Can you believe I had an Indian friend living in a Jewish neighborhood in New York and the Jewish community ran the entire family out of the neighborhood? eek.gif they said get out of our neighborhood N%$## everyday and even threaten their lives and their families lives and so they moved after a year.

This is the religion of the devil that has white men influents on people all over the world. This thinking has infected the whole world. Not the Christian religion.
