LTRP Note: The following article by an outside source regarding American (and other) aid being sent to Africa reiterates what Africa evangelist Loren Davis wrote two years ago in his Race to Africa report–the money being poured into Africa often never even reaches those in need but finances corrupt institutions, individuals, and governments. Top that off with the false heretical gospel that self-proclaimed Africa-rescuers take to the the African people, and the damage to Africa is astounding. While countless Christian ministries now tell everyone how much they are doing to help the needy in Africa (letting their left hand know what their right hand does) and covering their websites with photos of African people to further display their good works, most of these ministries are promoting the dangerous and deceptive spiritual formation movement (i.e., contemplative), and/or the emerging spirituality, offering their disciples ways to “be like Jesus” through mystical practices but never offering the Gospel of grace through faith in Christ alone.

The countries that have collected the most development aid are also the ones that are in the worst shape. Despite the billions that have poured in to Africa, the continent remains poor.” Click here to read this entire article.
