Yikes, you weren't kidding.

Here's their stated mission:

Quote:
World Vision is an international partnership of Christians whose mission is to follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in working with the poor and oppressed to promote human transformation, seek justice, and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God.
Emphasis added.

I knew World Vision was a Christian organization, but I didn't realize they were this shameless about their evangelism.

[Edit]
For contrast, here's the mission statement from Doctors Without Borders:

Quote:
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare. MSF offers assistance to people based on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.
Based on those quotes, I know to which organization I'd feel more comfortable donating money.
