Jubilee Christian Center and the U.S. military

The first Sunday of 2005 our Pastor was informing us on the Asian tsunami disaster from the pulpit, and decided to take up an offering and send it to India. In Andhra Pradesh State we have missionaries and their families, Lee & Praveena Ruud, and Scott & Melody Norling, on the ground, full-time.

Mrs. Obregon and I were unable to contribute on Sunday, but a light went off in my head. Our American military, at great cost, and almost entirely alone in the world, saved Kosovars, Afghans, and Iraqis from tyranny --and Virginia and I helped pay for that!

But wait, Virginia and I do even more --the $500 billion of the Pentagon's budget performs other Christian charity:
+Keeps the Persian gulf open to world commerce;
+Protects Europe;
+Ensures that the waters between China & Taiwan are safe;
+Prevents Saddam's rebels from destroying the ecology of the Tigris-Euphrates valley.

Probably most of the charity that we members of Jubilee Christian Center give --goes through
the U.S. government!

U.S. armed forces - Christianity in action.
