Some months ago, an evangelist from Africa started following my writing and sent me a friend request. I accepted after looking at his FB page. He is younger but super active in a church in Kampala, the capital of Uganda.
He asks for prayer and really pushes the "We are friends" thing. But I see that in a lot of Africans.
He keeps saying he needs this or that. First a laptop, then bibles and Christian books. I checked with a friend of mine who I worked with on an extensive African project. That friend actually owns a gold mine over there but spends most of his time here in Kentucky. He tells me the place is so corrupt, you can't get anything to the sender, that everything will be stolen. Recently he tried to send a single bible to a diplomat in Kenya. The shipping was $200, and the bible was stolen!
So, I am conflicted about sending this person anything. I don't know if God is prompting me to help him or it is just my emotions working on me, trying to save just one...
I need some advice.
