While many in the United States are reeling under the revelation of the corruption and misuse of tax dollars by the U.S. Agency for International Development, those of us in the global church are reeling because of revelations of how USAID pushed political and cultural agendas under the guise of developmental work.

One major story in India is about how USAID was carrying out its transgender agenda in the city of Pune. There are too many hard questions that arise out of USAID’s flagrant involvement in cultural agendas in many nations of the world.
