I just read that a US, Virginia-based missionary group said that it has airlifted 300 "tsunami orphans" from the Muslim province of Banda Aceh to Jakarta, the Indonesian capital, where it plans to raise them in a Christian children's home.

The missionary group, WorldHelp, has a web site at :

Is the Indonesian nation in such bad shape that it would allow this strange church to kidnap over 300 children and physically move them hundreds of miles by air to a secretive enclave in Jakarta in order to raise them in a religion other than that of their birth?

What exactly is that government doing to provide health, happiness and security to its citizens if it cannot even protect children from being removed forcefully from their homeland after a vicious and terrible calamity like the tsunami?

What would be the result if after a hurricane in Florida, Mississippi or Texas 300 children were airlifted to Saudi Arabia in order to be raised in a Muslim children’s home?

The perversion of faith through cash is being played out in front of us. These children have been removed from family and homeland in order to satisfy the needs of kidnappers.

How many of these children will be ‘adopted’ or sold for cash to American, English and Australian parents looking for a child?

It is a disgusting result of the tragedy and is, indeed, a tragedy in itself when a Christian society normally engaged in selling bibles turns instead to selling children.
