Self-sacrificial love is a real thing. But you won't see the following kind of story anywhere in mainstream media. When missionaries are mentioned in MSM, it tends not to be good.
But there's a lot more to the story.
Re-post:
David and Laurie Vanderpool live in Haiti; they expect to die there. David is a surgeon. They provide clean water, medical care, and food to the poor. They could have air conditioning, fine food, comfort and entertainment in America. But to give their lives to the Haitian poor, they had to give it up. They're Christian missionaries.
They are attacked sometimes by those who practice voodoo. It's a powerful force. "My wife has been held at gunpoint and pistol-whipped. And had a knife to her throat. I know to American ears that sounds sort of, that sounds horrible, you know?"
Yes, it does.
