Dear Dr. Moore,
As a missionary in a West African country, I’m in a difficult situation. Here poverty is everywhere, and many people sell their young boys to the Taliban leaders at the various mosques. These half naked boys are sent into the streets to beg with a large tomato can and a stick. They are truly hungry and afraid; that was obvious to me. The Christians here have explained that if the boys do not collect enough money, they are not fed and beaten—sometimes worse.
What should I do? Should I give the boys money for the Taliban hoping they will be safe? Should I refuse to support a group that proudly murders knowing that the precious eyes you are refusing could be beaten without my help?
Sincerely,
On Mission
Before I answer, why don’t you help me out. Should this Christian give to the starving boys, knowing the money will go possibly to fund the murder and persecution of other Christians? Or should this Christian refuse to give money, knowing it might mean the children passed by will be beaten for coming back empty?
