Quote

Kruger reminded EXCOM members that we are living “in a world of misinformation and disinformation.” For many years, he added, ADRA was spared from many of the accusations that other bodies have faced. But that began to change in the last few years, he acknowledged.

Well, maybe those accusations could be stopped if they became 100% honest on where the money went.

1) Many Adventists are upset that an Adventist organization is accepting US Government money, of any kind, for any purpose.

2) US AID now has a reputation for some very un-Adventist programs.

3) Why not tell us specifically what the money was used for? Why the secrecy? Why the dancing around the issue?

4) ADRA  around the world is focused on Disaster Relief. Why should it be any problem if some money has been cut off? Specifically, has does this effect ADRA?

5) Was the money spent inside the USA or outside?, If outside, to which countries?

6) What will be the future role of US Government money with ADRA, from ADRA's perspective?
