Many foreign missionary organizations have their own subsidiaries like\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiafacts.co.in\/gospel-for-asia-and-its-indian-connections\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gospel for Asia<\/a>, World Vision or YWAM. And they partner with other missionary NGOs and churches locally. Their reach, influence, network and PR management would put leading MNCs to shame. Also, World Vision works as a\u00a0liaison\u00a0in many government programs in India. If a foreign missionary wants to come to India and see the conversions for himself\/herself, there is no dearth of Indian hosts.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0Prayer Walk at Hindu temples<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Joshua Miller\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/108745537885651167584\/posts\/3gYxexrNjD8?pid=6058776802788180130&amp;oid=108745537885651167584\" target=\"_blank\">posted<\/a>\u00a0on Facebook in Feb 2014, \u201cwe will be doing prayer walks at the local temples\u201d.

It does not matter whether a Christian fundamentalist appreciates art or not.\u00a0The real issue is his wanton condemnation of Hinduism and Hindus.<\/p>\n<p>As is the case with Christian conversions by almost every denomination, Hindu-hatred is a key factor in every such effort.\u00a0Let it be said bluntly that conversions spread hate.<\/p>\n<p>Here is Joshua Miller and his team again, doing another \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=GvDgff_q7bM\" target=\"_blank\">prayer walk<\/a>\u201d at a temple in Durgapur, West Bengal.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0Visiting a village and praying Christian songs with school kids<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Next, the team also visited a village. In this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=MwXSviAdZHo\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a>, Joshua Miller claims they were not allowed to do missionary activity in this village but they went anyway. They went to the village school and sang Christian songs with the school kids. So when you are a \u201ctourist\u201d in a country and the hosts specifically say they do not want to be converted, why can\u2019t you leave them alone?<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0Aggression, Hatred, Denouncing other religions<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Aggression and spewing venom against Hindus, Hindu Gods and Hinduism is yet another common theme in missionary activities. The focus of this report is YWAM. The aggression shown by Joshua Miller team is not a one-off case. It is the norm. See what Jason Nettles from YWAM Orlando\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiafacts.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Nettles-Tweet.png\" target=\"_blank\">did<\/a>\u00a0last year.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v-Cn9b1t_rw\" target=\"_blank\">Here<\/a>\u00a0is Elisa Dawson, from YWAM Orlando, after serving a crippled person, gloating about how she converted him using a Hindu translator. To convert, you have to denounce Hinduism and \u201ccast away other gods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And then\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=xxxc7w1zRlw\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>\u2019s another YWAM team preaching near Buddha Stupa, Nepal.

Their hatred and fundamentalism is truly stunning. If you try to raise objections to their hatred, they cry persecution; they say their religious freedom is\u00a0being\u00a0violated.<\/p>\n<p>Damning other people\u2019s religions, traditions and spreading hatred is their definition of religious freedom. Per their declared goal, they will not rest until the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b-L1HWf4X6E&amp;t=4m54s\" target=\"_blank\">whole world<\/a>\u00a0is converted to Christianity. Equally, they get excellent support from Indian evangelical NGOs which are in turn massively funded by foreigners.

When Joshua Miller\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/108745537885651167584\/posts\/hYNzkE3Vguz?pid=6058781726978013538&amp;oid=108745537885651167584\" target=\"_blank\">posted<\/a>\u00a0about the\u00a0re-conversion\u00a0of some tribal people to Hinduism, Mahesh Nathan says \u201cDiscipleship\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, there are huge numbers of discipleship schools like YWAM in India, most of which have sprung up in the last decade. Many of them are run by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IJ1wpUIBDyQ\" target=\"_blank\">foreigners<\/a>\u00a0themselves.
