I am a frim believer that Africa needs food and education, not religion. Let the people belive what they choose, and for God's sake, teach them how to feed themselves.
from what i read of the time magazine article, the intention is to leverage volunteer expertise in america to help rwandan hospitals, banks, schools, and other institutions.
in the book of james, chapter 2, the bible reads, "what good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith has no deeds? can such faith save him? suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. if one of you says to him, 'go i wish you well; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? in the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
