Sin is when we disobey God. Sin must be punished - Matakana Schools dubious Christmas gift to the third world. Matakana school children are being asked to help Operation Christmas Child told it gives you the opportunity to fill a shoe box with small Christmas goodies, that they then send to children that live in areas where people are too poor to enjoy Christmas. Whats they are not told is the message this evangelical organisation delivers with your package: Sin is our biggest problem. We all need to be rescued from sin. Sin is when we disobey God. Sin is when we dont live the way we are designed to live. You can see sin all around us...Sin must be punished. The scheme has echoes of a colonial style missionary approach. The organisations language and choice of images on their website certainly dont help. Nor does their record. In 2001 Samaritans Purse was under contract to deliver US aid to the victims of the El Salvador earthquake. Residents of several villages reported that they needed to sit through a half hour prayer meeting before receiving assistance. Should your state school use your children as free labour for missionary work without your full consent? secularism.org.uk/blog/2014/11/operation-christmas-child
