This is American evangelism at its finest: only help if you can convert them to Christianity.
Two bits that annoy me.
1. the authors cite a poor unmarried mother. She eventually had a good mentor who helped and supported her. But she would’ve done better if she’d followed Christ.
2. the authors say they turned down a grant to help poor people because they couldn’t use it to evangelise as well. Say what?
