="Missionaries In Uganda" = = = ===Uganda Missions is a ministry made up of long-term and short-term missionaries and Ugandan Nationals, whose goal is to reach the Ugandan people with the good news of the gospel and strengthen the church by providing sound teaching and doctrine. ===

=== As you read further on you will find out how Christian Missionaries are really helping people in poor countries such as Uganda, Africa. You will learn how Africa is being portrayed on the media because of the Missionaries. As well as what the Missionaries do in order to seem like the heroes and how they actually provide the relief they are supposed to give. ===

=== Christian Missionaries aren’t what they seem to be, because in the song “Patience” by Damian Marley, he clearly states how they portray Africa and their people. Missionaries manipulate the people in Africa to appear as the heroes, and they also allow the media to publish photos of Africa when it’s at it’s worst. ===

=== In the song “Patience” by Damian Marley he says that the media stereotypes Africa. They stereotype the youth mostly; they say that they’re not strong that the children are very weak. “ On the TV the picture is savages in villages and the scientist still cant explain the pyramids huh, evangelist making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids .” He’s also saying that the media or in this case the Missionaries put Africa on display of places where people are very poor so people can feel sorry for them and they can provide their relief. ===

=== Missionaries from the “S.I.L” (Summer Institute of Linguistics) were working with a tribe in Uganda when the oil exploration happened. The S.I.L convinced the tribe to move from their land to Missionaries Reservations, they told them they would provide food, shelter, clothes, medical treatment, and missionary education if they moved and give the land to the oil companies. When they did move the Missionaries used laxatives in heavy food t give the tribes so they could get diarrhea, and said they would give them medicine to cure it. They also gave them food in basket, but the baskets would have mini radios so the Missionaries would spy on the tribes if anything went wrong, or if the tribes wanted to rebel against them they would be the first ones to know and stop it or do something about it. From all of the wild behavior and discrimination a man decided to write a book called “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” and quoted “For the oil companies who S.I.L claimed were helping the “Savages” became civilized and educated.” ===

=== Missionaries put picture of kids on their websites. Nut not just regular kids, kids that are very slim, so slim their ribs show. Missionaries take these pictures and use them to their advantage. They post the pictures all over the world so the people can donate to the Africans. Once they donate they don’t give all the percentage of the money being donated, they give it to the government for their own use. “Some of the worst paparazzi I’ve ever seen and I even know they put the worst on display so the world can see and that’s all they will ever show.” ===

===All- in - All I think the Missionaries are abusing Africa. I think this because, as Damian Marley says "They only put African on their worst & then thats when they show it." They bride Africa and their tribes on order to get what they want and to me that does not seem like its fair. As well as they dont give all the percentage of the donations that are given to the people in Africa, instead they give it to the govrnement for their own use. Yet the missionaries say they help, yet they really don't. ===
