Yohannan's plea for the need to help the children in India is strongly based on his christian beliefs. "The reason for such brutality, pain, abuse and all suffering is, in a word, sin...Satan...is at the source of this heartache..." (p.38) He identifies moral values as 'biblical"(p.105) rather than acknowledging that these are universal values espoused by many religions. He recounts one man, who was caught in the debt trap of paying off his father's loans and feeling hopeless about ever getting free, until he was healed in the name of Jesus and now bikes around feeling hopeful (p.53-5). So, tell me, did this missionary group hire him? Did they pay off his debts? How, specifically, is he now able to provide for his own wife along with his parents & siblings? Later we find out that the missions do provide material benefits. It is easy to see why the author is working so hard to convince people that they should donate. If his support base dries up, why should the poor people "convert"?
