The Pakistan brickyard story and giving

A rare on-air mention of the show's quiet work with a friend in Pakistan: Christian families in debt slavery in brickyards (Muslims can't enslave Muslims there, so the yards are 'almost exclusively Christians'); listeners' giving freed a mother and son who'd never lived outside the yard, and bought them beds — 'God keeps his promises' through the hands of His people. The host stresses wealth is not proof of blessing and poverty is not holiness ('Americans spend more on porn than almost anything else'); give what you'd actually want — corn, not the water chestnuts your family hates, and can openers with the cans. Nobody brags; the blessing is getting to be part of it.
