The Truth Comes Out

The following is an excerpt of what I read today at "The Christian Post" re: the forced sale of property by New Tribes Mission as a result of their impending expulsion from Venezuela. Note how much the Venezuelan government cares about it's indigenous people. They truly have their best interest in mind, don't you think? Good thing they are getting rid of those awful missionaries:

"Initially, NTM Venezuelan leaders responded to the property issue by intending to transfer the buildings to the tribal people living adjacent to the school, but was informed that such transfers are not allowed.

Furthermore, NTM discovered that the law requires NTM to sell the building for at least 25 percent of the market value, a cost that would inhibit the tribal people from purchasing the buildings. As a result, NTM will be forced to sell the buildings “to those who have opposed the mission’s activities,” NTM stated on its website.

The missionaries responded to the event by expressing disappointment and concern for the tribal people. "
