While we have seen the Haitian government release some of the missionary workers from jail yesterday...they were charged with trying to take some of the Haitian children out of the country and bring them back to the US to either adopt them for themselves or have them adopted by other American families.
While the cause and thought was very noble, I have to pose this question for the week....why is it that we (Americans...and church folk at that) are quick to run to other countries and bring their children back and attempt to provide them with a better life, and neglect the facts that there are inner city children who have suffered quakes in their lives and no one is ready to take them from the inner city to the suburbs to raise them and give them a better life? I mean doesn't the Bible tell us that charity (LOVE) begins at home and then spreads abroad!
WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS?
