I'm concerned about what our American "Prosperity Gospel" -- which can, in some churches, teach that God intends financial prosperity for God's children. It can be full of false promises and false hope. And, from what I've read, it can have the benefit of encouraging better money management and a "Protestant Work Ethic" among its followers. However, this concerns me in a region of such poverty.
