re post # 29. India does NOT need your religion! Of course no bikinis- it’s INDIA, not the Caribbean! I see NO reason for those not of your church to support your efforts. Asking others to pay for your enrichment trip is the same as soliciting for any vacation.
btw- never went to H’s homeland- his parents kept coming here and he has negatives about the crowds, dirt, noise…
Back to OP. I see no reason not to bluntly just say no. Be honest, you are not sorry you do not wish to give. That person is way out of line in asking those not in her church for money to support beliefs they may disagree with. Better a simple “no” than trying to tell her how wrong she is. I wish some of those who think they are doing so much good would stick with the good and not add needing to spend their time hearing wrong beliefs as payment.
