God works in mysterious ways?

Hindu extremists aside, some of the so called Christian evangelicals over there don't seem to be doing the Lord's work too well, I remember seeing a documentary a while back where they practically force these old people to just say "we accept the Lord Jesus christ" without even understanding what the heck they were doing, they looked frightened and like they were just doing what these strange people told them especially with cameras on them. Some how I don't think this is what Jesus had in mind. I don't know how wide spread this method of evangelization is but it sure could rub people the wrong way.

This was most likely not in India as Indian law prohibits proselytizing by foreigners unless you have a missionary visa. Less than 100 missionary visas have been granted in the last 10 years and the visa is limited to 3 months and is not accecptable in all Indain states.

But I do agree with your point.
