Seen, but the bredren isn't aligned with any mission to Africa he just found a site where people can donate to. He is just trying to raise a mere $2,000 to get to Jamaica because he personally doesn't have enough. He was invited to speak but he has to be the one to pay for getting there. (Nazarite_I I will look into but please know that the bredren has no intention of hurting or damaging the livity he would like the TRUTH to be spread just as much as many of us do. But he is going further than just talking he is doing. So I thank you. You not have to give anything Nazarite_I if you feel it isn't right I just hope you or someone would help a fellow bredren that's trying to do the right thing. I wont convince you, cocorse you or force you. I just ask. And like I said before if you don't send anything that's fine too.) :)
