Christianity Comes to Thailand and….
…the Christian group took their money and left.
Happy new Christians? Not quite.
It turns out that after the tsunami, the original village was destroyed… its inhabitants scattered around the coast in various camps. For months, no aid was offered to them. Then, one day, a European evangelical group arrived with a tempting proposal for the village leader. It would rebuild the whole community, complete with many, many features the poor Thai Buddhists had never seen… IF every single one of the 42 families converted to Christianity.

I watched this report on CBC last night and found it very important for having the courage to expose such a story to the public.
The behavior of ‘Christians’ in a primarily non-Christian land evangelizing about Jesus while the population struggle to rebuild their world seems so deceptive.
I totally agree with Vinod Nair comments “These “vultures” who thrive on exploiting a great human tragedy have used similar deceptive tactics in other Tsunami effected countries - in India & Sri Lanka. To them every catastrophic tragedy is an “opportunity”, until it probably happens to themselves.”
I’d tell the those Christian volunteers in Phuket to Phuk-off!
