The proselytizers are taking undue advantage of the predicament of the Tsunami victims in the coastal areas of south India.
In the Tamil Nadu coastal villages of Mayiladthurai and Nagapattinam, the Tsunami victims are lured by the Christian missionaries for conversion. They are luring the villagers with cash incentives and with promise to bear lifetime education expenses of their children. These missionaries are also trying to convert the villagers en mass through village resolution passed by the village president.
A coastal village called Thirumullai Vasal situated near Sirgazhi Taluk of Tamil Nadu, has 55 fishermen families. These families have lost their entire belongings in the recent Tsunami. They are now accommodated in the Government school at Thirumullai Vasal. The members of a Christian organization by name “United Bethel Trust” of Coimbatore have already met these fishermen families twice. The Trust President, an Indian, by name Andrew Augustin, belonging to the Pentecostal Mission, is presently living in the USA. After the devastation of the Tsunami, he visited the above village and promised the affected fishermen every help and assistance. He also gathered from these families all the required information about the loss of their belongings etc. and where they want the new houses to be built, and further details about them.
On Jan. 18, 05, the members of the United Bethel Trust again went to the Government Scholl at Thirumullai Vasal and collected further details about the requirements of the fishermen families accommodated there. They also conducted Gospel meetings and prayed for the welfare of these families. These families felt there was nothing wrong in receiving help from this organization.
In this way, in several coastal villages of Tamil Nadu, these missionaries are lure the villagers under the pretext of relief work and convert them to Christianity. Also, taking advantage of the delayed Government relief work for the fishermen, the members of the above Trust divide the people in the name of caste and creed, thereby creating misgivings among them, with a view to covert them.
