“For many decades our country was a communist country. During these years we were told that the government owned everything and that the government would provide for all our needs. But this didn’t work.
Then communism fell and many people came to our country and told us about capitalism. They taught us that we were owners of our own possessions and destiny and that we needed to take care of our own needs. But for most people, this has not worked.
Today I learned about Christianity. You have taught me that God is the true Owner of all things, that we are to serve the Lord, honor him with our lives, share whatever he gives us, and that God will be our Provider.”
