Sadly, I'm not surprised by the lack of response from these groups, considering that if they bring it up, then people just might start asking about their ongoing Haitian ministries. You know, the ones where they've allegedly been converting orphans for years, but never have any proof that any money has ever entered the country? (I remember when local underwear skidmark W.V. Grant used to make a big deal about his Haitian orphanage, and James Randi pointed this out in his book The Faith Healers. Haiti was a great way for Grant to pull in money, with the not-so-subtle hints to his audience that he was dealing with the White Man's Burden as best as he could by going out there. He could also rest assured that none of his contributors would ever go there to see if he'd spent a penny out there.)

And that's the problem with so many of those groups. They actually enjoy keeping people at that level of ignorance and poverty, because the benefits are twofold. Firstly, you're more likely to listen to the obligatory propaganda if it's a choice between propaganda and not eating. Secondly, the practitioners can pretend that they're accomplishing great things with a token effort, when building new churches doesn't do a damn thing other than take resources that could be used for wells or cattle pens or schools. (My wife was a Baptist missionary in Guatemala when she was in high school. Bring up the subject now, when she's had twenty-odd years to think about what she really accomplished, and she gets livid.)
