He took it to the church meeting, and they weren't at all keen on this. He said 'I'll abide by the church's decision, but give it a week to think about.' The whole church prayed for a week, and at the end of the week they said, 'we won't put a roof on our church. We'll actually put this money into the community, to bless these Aids orphans.'

In this podcast, we're talking to Elaine Storkey, President of Tearfund, about what the church in the west can learn from the church in developing countries.
