Nevo, care to comment further?
Is it written somewhere that all humanitarian donations raised in the UK must be spent in the UK?
Given that the Church's humanitarian aid fund focuses on, among other things, wheelchair distribution, vision treatment, disaster relief, neonatal resuscitation training, measles vaccination, and clean water projects, it should not surprise anyone that most of the money raised in the UK is spent outside of the UK.
Guess what? Most of the money raised in the US for humanitarian aid is spent outside of the US too. Go figure.

So how much money did you donate and/or raise last year for humanitarian causes? Was it even 0.4% of your annual income?

It looks to me as if they're sitting on the money. Are you saying they've spent the rest of the money for aid, but it's not reflected here?

Poor old Nevo,
Do you know how much the Church spent on humanitarian aid worldwide in total in 2010?
I do.
How much would you think would be a reasonable amount for a Church led specifically by regular and direct contact with Christ?

I am suggesting that most of the money that has been raised for humanitarian aid has been or will be spent on humanitarian aid outside of the UK.
Frankly, I am surprised that even 3% of the donations were spent in the UK, unless this includes fast offerings.
