 Hello there- 
  
 well sir?, you need to know more points before you can truly think of such 
 things....let me clarify for you. 
  
 In my areas of interest, faiths are segregated, like we experienced here 
 with Native Indians and African Canadians.  Really, a Christian can not go 
 to many hotels or restaurants there.  A Christian is not usually able to 
 hold a professional job, able only to work meanial jobs for $2.  Children 
 are discarded, especially girls. Christian families are too poor to care for 
 their children so they end up homeless or dead. 
  
 Ruling faith people have the opportunity for schooling, and more 
 professional schooling.  Example, if I went there to teach, I am welcome to 
 teach warlord children, aristocratic families (meaning other than Christian) 
 etc.... but most rural children do not get such opportunities. 
  
 So you say keep religion out of orphanages and schools....how? 
  
 Many of these people are already believers in the Christ and so it is 
 appropriate someone who has the same interests and actually cares for them 
 should be there to help them. 
  
 When taught properly, the Faith,  Christian, that is entry to God through 
 Jesus,  offers community - I know that's not always the case. 
  
 So, yes, I would still be interested in presenting my joy to others, but no, 
 it's not converting.  My belief is you present the faith, the Spirit will 
 convict, but the person will make a choice,   they say no then that's that. 
 They say yes, and we talk. 
  
 Maybe thats not the way the faith was presented to you in the past, and 
 certainly not the way a lot of history has involved the faith, but hopefully 
 you will see there is a different approach at work here. 
  
 Thank you kindly,
