The prime mode seems to be money though Western Christians have a strange idea it is because of the inherent superiority of Christianity.

The native Christians are increasingly getting vocal against the outsiders. ‘‘This type of conversions aren’t good for local Christians who had shared a cordial relationship with Muslims here for centuries. The conversions they are doing are Bibilically wrong. There are umpteen cases in which one person has been baptised thrice within a few months. These so-called evangelists have set up businesses in the garb of Church and social work,’’ says Pastor Leslie Richards, a native protestant living in Braen, Srinagar. ‘‘The converts here do it for monetary reasons and the people who convert them too do it for the same reasons,’’ he adds.

The head of the mission in Pulwama said: ‘‘I am a jobless graduate who would just waste time all day. I met one social worker, Dennis Rasche, who worked for Green Pastures Communication, a US-based NGO that provides medicine to poor people. I joined him and he later told me that he was an evangelist for the German Town Baptist Church. He got me in touch with evangelists of Campus Crusade For Christ.’’
‘‘We have to organise cricket matches and seminars in college where we are required to preach Gospel. Our mission has got 65 members who carry out their duties mostly in colleges. We were in Dehra Dun to attend a seminar hosted by Assemblies of God to teach us about evangelism. We are paid a monthly salary of Rs 12,000 a month and all other expenses. The hike in perks depends on how we progress in our mission. Besides, we go on tours which are all paid for,’’ he adds.
Apart from his colleagues, nobody is aware about his conversion. He doesn’t want anybody to know about it either. ‘‘The first good thing about Christianity is we don’t need to change our names. If we are in trouble, we could always claim we never converted. Thus we can save our skin and stay where we are safely,’’ he said.

Another member of the group Sheikh Ahmad (name changed) has been baptised twice in six months. First, he was baptised by the Roman Catholics but since they did not keep their part of the bargain, he walked out.
‘‘I was promised funds for my higher education by Premi Gergan but they didn’t keep their promise. Later, I took baptism in the Protestant Church and joined the Campus Crusade For Christ. Here, at least I get my salary and other perks and they have promised to send me abroad for higher education,’’ he said.

There is fraud involved as well by that holy of holies Mother Teresa. According to Susan Shields, a former nun, "in the homes for the dying, Mother taught the Sisters how to secretly baptize those who were dying. Sisters were to ask each person in danger of death if he wanted 'a ticket to heaven'. [Of course no one told them this is the Christian heaven ]. A affirmative reply was to mean consent to baptism. The sister was then to pretend that she was just cooling the person's forehead with a wet cloth, while she was in fact baptizing him saying quietly the necessary words. Secrecy was important so that it wouldnot come to be known that Mother Teresa's order was secretly baptizing Hindus and Muslims".

Several things to be noted:
i. The Hindu Nationalist parties for a change are right when they insist that foreign NGO's are usually fronts for something else and so must be always under the scanner.
ii. Conversion is a business after all. This also explains the mystery why evangelists are happy with insincere converts since it is a matter of sales commission.
iii. Apparently perfect love neither casteth out fear, nor does it promote truth.
iv. Christian brotherhood means you steal brothers from each other.
v. Even the dying are not left in peace as missionaries scavenge them like vultures; fraud is also acceptable.

US evangelists are winning the race since they have more money. Are the Christians who donate for evangelism aware of how conversion is carried out, or do they think any kind of conversion is better than none?
