They were disappointed to find out that this family event was not what they were expecting. The music were familiar songs with words changed to 'make them religious' and they got the feeling they were only there so the church people could hand out their 'propaganda' en masse. What discouraged our friends the most was the fact the there was no advertising that this was a church ...

If the people in those countries are simply building their church in their own way, isn't that the bigger picture of going "into all the world"? By focusing on our own community in our own nation?
