Left-wing Federal Bureau Pretending to be a Christian Ministry, World Relief, Gets Cut Off

There’s an old saying that if you take the king’s coin, you play the king’s tune. Well, World Relief has been cashing in on the government’s dime for decades, and now that the funding spigot has been turned off, they’re crying foul like a spoiled child denied dessert.

This so-called “Christian ministry” has in recent years finally been exposed for what it truly is—a glorified federal subcontractor masquerading as a Christian mission organization. And now, with President Trump’s latest executive order putting an abrupt halt to their government gravy train, World Relief is throwing a full-blown tantrum.

Their official statement is drenched in melodrama, lamenting that they received an abrupt order from their “longtime governmental partner, the U.S. Department of State,” instructing them to “stop all work” under their grant agreement.

Indeed, World Relief openly admits that their so-called “ministry” is fundamentally dependent on the very entity Christ never once instructed His disciples to rely upon— the Roman Empire, or in modern terms, the U.S. Government.

Think about it, though. When did Jesus ever say, “Blessed are the bureaucrats, for they shall fund My kingdom”? Somehow, I missed that verse.

And the hand-wringing doesn’t stop there. They also bemoan that their lucrative relationship with USAID—the federal agency doling out foreign aid—has been similarly severed. “We are deeply grieved by the profound harm that these abrupt mandates seem likely to have on vulnerable people,” wails Myal Greene, their CEO.

No, Mr. Greene, what you’re grieving is the loss of government handouts. What you’re mourning is the evaporation of easy money to fund your radical left-wing open-border causes that nobody in their right mind actually wants to support.

If this was truly about the “vulnerable,” one could only wonder why they didn’t build their model based on the biblical precedent of voluntary church support, rather than federal tax dollars forcibly extracted from Americans who, for the most part, don’t share the same views.

World Relief insists that its programs are “not just altruistic; these are strategic investments that bolster American safety, strength, and prosperity.” Okay, so now we see the real angle. The appeals to Scripture were just a side dish—the main course is the same tired neoconservative justification for endless foreign intervention.
