Mark, have you taken the time to read my response to this article on our website (www.touchhaitinow.org)? You have taken the word of a reporter and cast judgment on our ministry without first having discerned the truth. To be clear, even as I responded to the reporter, we feed everyone that the Lord has entrusted to us in Haiti, have fed voodooists, and will likely feed them again. We are not hesitant to share the Gospel and we boldly proclaim Christ, with signs and wonders and founded in His mercy, grace, and love. But as ministers of the Gospel, we do not concede with indifferent certainty that we will commit to continue to randomly supply over and over, familiar voodoo practitioners who are heretics of the faith. We rely upon the Holy Spirit to lead us, case by case, and instance by instance. He knows all !! Titus 3:10: “A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject”. Translated simply, this means: Have nothing to do with people who continue to teach false doctrine after you have warned them once or twice. Mark, you will do well also to read Mathew 7:5 for yourself. All said in love, Blessings. P.S. We are always looking for volunteers to go to the mission fields with us to feed the poor. This is where the rubber hits the road.

Can you show where in the Gospel Jesus refused anyone
his friendship, love or support? Can you show where
in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John or even Thomas where Jesus
taught his disciples to refuse food or care to anyone.
Did He tell a Samaritan or Roman pagan to become Christian?
Was a afriad to touch a leper? How can you demonstrate your
teaching is connected in any way to the teachings of Jesus?

When Jesus said “whatsoever you do to the least of these, you do unto Me” he did not make any distinctions about their religion, neither in the short term nor long term. Read Mathhew 25: 31-46.

There are all sorts of people who say “Lord Lord did we not prophesy and do mighty works in your name” and He will say, “depart from Me, I never knew you.”
