That was in essence priority one. In terms of the "Christian" side of things (i.e. the witnessing etc.), I have to say not one God-related incident happened. To put this another way: we might as well have been representatives of any of these atheist charities and it wouldn't have made the slightest difference to the outcome.
So it was a failure because you were not witnessed to any God type magic?
They say that 3rd world countries are "aware of the spiritual world" more than in 1st world countries, because you know, we like material things instead. Despite this hunger for the "spiritual world", God was embarrasingly shy to the people of Thailand. It makes saving souls that much harder in a world where innocent, unwary and unfortunate people are being dumped into hell by the truck-loads.
EDIT: seriously... tell your god to f$@*ing lift his game. I'm never one to get angry at the religious, but when it comes to inequality in people's lives because of something that's out of their control, I defend them in whatever way I can. For your Holy book to say that these people will go to hell because they never placed trust in a god that never showed up makes me sick to the stomach.
In saying all this, please only take the argument to heart and not my frustration.
