Religion has always been a tool of exploitation, specifically in this case, Christianity.

 

Adding insult to injury, and straight up insulting our intelligence, the Kenyan government is sending a religious mission to accompany its police deployment to Ayiti.

 

”We believe that we are a tool that God will use to help.”- Serge Musasilwa (Kenya Evangelical Pastor of BaKôngo origin)

 

Yes, they are tools of God. The question though is what God are they serving? Their God seems to have a white face and serve white needs. Their God seems to be accompanying them in an invasion of their brothers and sisters whose situation has been caused by those who first rang them and “asked” them to take on this mission. Who is this God using this tool to help? What is Kenya getting in return from this

mission? Is this mission serving the people of Kenya, the masses, as we refer to them? More importantly, is this mission serving the well-being of Ayiti’s People’s? The U.S., who have “asked” Kenya to intervene in this matter, what is their interest in Kenya keeping “peace” in Ayiti?

 

”The more you’re connected to the population, the more you can format the kind of intervention you’re going to lead.”- Daniel Jean-Louis (President of Baptist Haiti Mission)

 

You, my brothers and sisters who attend church and the other Christian gatherings following these men and women, you are the population that they have connected with!!! And for what purpose? Well, they tell you it themselves, “To format the kind of intervention they are going to lead.”

 

I will not analyze and give my opinion on this one. I will, however, ask you all to pay attention to the actions on the ground. Pay attention to what these people are doing. Pay attention to how they’re showing up in Ayiti and in Kenya. Once you have done that, remember their words that I have highlighted above and ask yourself, “Whose well-being are these missionaries serving?” “What kind of intervention are they leading?”

 

We had our elder Chester Higgins on one of our collaboration sessions with Kumbukeni and The Emerging Alkebulan Awakening Series on Sunday, June 2nd, and he left us with this question;

 

HOW MUCH ARE YOU WORTH?
