Ebola & churches

Here's a view of the ebola problem in western Africa that won't come up in any mainstream media coverage.

Someone, maybe a missionary, working with churches in the affected African countries finds that those African Christians are somewhat fatalistic about the disease  They pray fervently, and of course prayer is vital, but they seem to be resigned that whatever happens will be God's will.

"When we came in as fellow Christians . . our folks would explain all about hand washing, how the virus would be transmitted  . . then the pastor would end by . . saying something like, “We hear all that but we are just dependent on prayer, and we know that nothing we do can change God’s will for us."

I hope they think it's God's will to take basic safety measures.
