Why should they? There’s plenty of well-meaning American kids to do it for them and gain virtue-signaling points. I recall there was an African leader who was telling the West to quit sending them food and clothes because relying on charity was killing their economy. Nobody was willing to do anything on their own.

Haiti became the first free black republic in the world, the first independent state in the Caribbean and the second independent state in the Western Hemisphere after the United States. Although violence is declining, Haiti remains one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere.Hmm, not setting a good example.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, the Dominican Republic is doing just fine.

Some of my family members did the same thing. My question is, how many people did you tell Jesus about? Isn't that what this is all about? Helping them out, yes, feeding them yes, but at some point there is something better
The Lord fed the 5000 and all had their fill. You know He fed them well and with good food. They came back looking for more and He was basically saying that is not how this works. You need His Body and Blood to be saved.

Cannibalism is increasing.
For the New World Order we need a cannibalism index.

“it also reinforces leftist white guilt, and woke-progressive-globalist ways of thinking for these suburban American kids.
Yes, I’m a cynical bastard - flame away.”
Good post. You nailed it.

A real prez would have the Marines OTW with orders to do what’s necessary to get Americans out.

I spent a summer as a teenager helping build a church. The area was very remote and the people were unbelievably poor, but the local Christians were so joyful and loving. It was a farming community and yes, they did work. There was a group there that practiced voodoo too and boy did they hate that church and us. They marched around our compound and church chanting curses.
It was such a stark contrast of good and evil. I’m sad to hear the evil is winning there 😞 the missionaries that planted the church and others lived closer to Port Au Prince and I often wonder how they are doing.

Soldiers of the Cross sometimes become martyrs. That’s a likely outcome for these missionaries.

Won’t be the first missionaries in history to be cannabalized. I hear they are delicious if boiled alive like lobsters.
