I saw this show, and it is not clear to me what and how he will help Rwanda, but I thought that it would certainly be good if his congregation got involved. Would help them both. The amazing success of his book probably shames his critics, as above. I read Ashley's book on how she read it to her captor that night in Atlanta. Turns out she was a drug adict struggling to recover, and she turned a corner that night.

Congregations and denominations have been doing good works in Africa and elsewhere for generations. That is nothing new. I'm glad that Warren and Saddleback are doing good works. But, they need to spread the Gospel above all else or they are doing no good for the souls of those they are feeding. Our temporal lives end, but our spirits go on. Without the forgiveness of sins through the sacrifice Christ made, we are lost forever.

Right now I attend a church planted in America by the Anglican Diocese of Rwanda. No kidding. So, do you think that any Christians have been to Rwanda before Warren?

That's how I see part of it. From what I understand, the Body of Christ is growing through Warren's ministry, and if true, that's something fellow believers should be glad to hear.
