Grandmother to 500 orphans to discuss work in Cambodia
15 January 2018

There’s a small plot of Cambodian earth Marie Ens knows will some day be hers alone; but, not for a long while yet.
No, the 83-year-old daughter of the Prairies and grandmother to hundreds of orphans in that Southeast Asian land has too much work still to do before she takes a well-earned rest and has a chance to experience the heaven she’s promised to so many others during her remarkable life.

This Tuesday, Ens visits Calgary to speak at the Foothills Alliance Church as part of a two-month trip back to Canada that’s part family reunion and part fundraiser for the three Cambodian orphanages she’s helped build and run for more than half a century.

Ens mixes those visits with speaking engagements, asking people to sponsor a child or donate in any way they see fit. It isn’t officially sanctioned by the Alliance Church she once was such a part of, but those venues remain the most welcoming. Canadians are, by far, the biggest contributors to the Place of Rescue orphanages.
...
AIDS was rampant and Ens, with the help of friends she’d made years before, started Place of Rescue, a charity to provide makeshift shelter for those suffering from what was then a sure-fire killer.

“We started with 16 small houses to help families coping with AIDS. Essentially the adults came to die. There just weren’t the drugs. As well as palliative care, we also introduced them to Jesus and, for a Buddhist person believing in karma where a worse reincarnation lay ahead, then the Gospel was great news. If you believe, you can go to heaven.”

Apparently in the Alliance church you get to know JC personally. It's good that he's got some free time from smiting infidels to have a quick chat about his favourite drinks and stuff. I guess telling everyone that you'd be better off dead saves on medicine costs.

She may be doing some good work, and have good intentions, but this is chilling.

we also introduced them to Jesus and, for a Buddhist person believing in karma where a worse reincarnation lay ahead, then the Gospel was great news

Who says a worse karma lies ahead ? You're dying of Aids, and these people tell you that Buddha will reincarnate you as something nasty, so better turn to that nice Jesus man ?
Talk about converting the vulnerable.

let us prey....







respect others culture we're told......unless it comes to infecting others with your 1 true religion as per norm

many years ago there was story about a baptist church in america, they had recieved lots of requests for bibles from Uganda. They thought there was an upsurge in converts. It was later discovered that the pages of the bible were very thin and perfect for rolling cigarettes.
maybe its an urban myth, but i have on the odd occasion used a Gidean bible to make a joint.
can,t remember what page i used, maybe the one about a burning bush?
