I refuse to embrace anything that puts a stigma on intelligence, knowledge, or education.
Christianity does no such thing and for you to conflate that with what DT said is either poor reading, or bizarre.

Sounds like the OP's concern and desire to help could take 2 forms: go Rambo, or donate a jeep (or other personnel carrier to get outta there)
Isa 45:4Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Interesting that you would say this Brinny!
This is exactly what a phenomenally gifted friend of ours from Quito, Ecuador told me to do after I had an e-mail translated into Spanish and sent to her a couple of years ago!!!!!
I will include her answer as well as the Spanish translation into this topic thread because it will be obvious how this is relevant!
For two years now I have been praying and thinking and scratching my head trying to figure out why in the world people who speak Hebrew would bother with a minuscule place in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia, Canada that the vast majority of people are leaving at this time because frankly, our economy is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!
It has taken about two years but I do finally have an answer..... (is anybody interested in the specific questions that I wrote to Sonia that she was answering????)

Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him;
Excuse me, but some segments of Christianity do exactly that. There is a very large section that is anti-intellectual. His point seems to be that education can be a hindrance to bringing someone to Christianity. I contend that if that is the case, it isn't education that is the problem.
OK, now that you word it that way, you are right, LoAmmi!
awesome Dennis. yes, i'm interested.
FOLLOWING ARE THE ORIGINAL QUESTIONS TO PASTOR SONIA:

Subject: Sonia ...., Hi from Dennis, part 1
Hi Sonia:
Hi .... ......:
Hi E.....:
Sonia, thank you immensely for your prophecy to Maria Jose that she needed to come to Canada with me or I would end up with nothing.
Your prophecy was absolutely correct. If I had remained in Ecuador my sister would have inherited everything from mum.
You also predicted that the time was coming when my eyes would be bugged out and my mouth gaping open as I beheld the
miracles and intervention of God in our lives. This is happening more and more all the time. The way in which God got
J.... .... and E..... together and how well E.....and Maria ..... encourage each other is astonishing and an obvious miracle right up there with how Ruth was sent to be with Naomi.
Sonia, a little over a month ago I asked Pastor Freda what to do in reference to a desire I have had to give away 75 acres (half of my debt free kingdom) to God somehow. She counselled Maria and I to pray and ask God to speak to us directly. Maria did not agree with my plan to donate this to five pastors because God has not spoken to her yet regarding doing this.
Sonia, I asked something unusual of God back in 1990, not long after my dad died. At that time I was shown evidence that there really was a hell. Up until then I had believed the dead were absolutely unconscious until the resurrection.
//but the goat on which the lot fell for Aza'zel shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Aza'zel.
Mas el macho cabrío sobre el cual cayere la suerte por Azazel, lo presentará vivo delante de Jehová para hacer la reconciliación sobre él, para enviarlo a Azazel al desierto.//(Leviticus 16:10)
At that time I wondered if a Christian, somebody covered by the blood of Jesus/Yahushua, volunteering to take the guilt/debt of Azazel would alter the formula so that matters would be improved for the unsaved dead? My dad died without giving his heart to Jesus/Yahushua.
After I went to Ecuador Maria Jose told me about a dream that she had in 1995. In this dream Azazel Baalzebub appeared to her. He laughed a lot and told her "I am going to take him away from you." I believe the him here is Cesar. Has Azazel began to obey the voice of Jesus/Yahushua in matters regarding at least some of God's servants?
I feel that Azazel is named in Leviticus because he will become one of the first fallen angels to repent and turn back to God. I feel he will be comparable to General Abner who brought the ten tribes to King David. He could also be compared to the Apostle Paul who persecuted the church but was led to an astonishingly deep level of repentance.
Pastor Rick Joyner was shown a visionary dream in 1995 in which Jesus/Yahushua stood to his feet and would not sit down again until his kingdom was fully established in the earth. I feel that these events fit with this scripture:
And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
Y si Satanás se levanta contra sí mismo, y se divide, no puede permanecer, sino que ha llegado su fin.(Mark 3:26)
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
para que en el nombre de Jesús se doble toda rodilla de los que están en los cielos, y en la tierra, y debajo de la tierra;(Philippians 2:10)
It is interesting that this verse states that every knee, even under the earth, will bow to Jesus/Yahushua.
Here are some verses from the vision given to Pastor Rick Joyner:
The Hordes of Hell are Marching
The Lord then stood up. Then all of those who were seated upon the thrones for as far as I could see also stood up. His eyes burned with a fire I had not seen before.
...
A company of angels then came and escorted me away from the throne. The leader walked beside me and began to speak.
"Now that He has stood He will not sit again until the last battle is over. He has been seated until the time when His enemies are to be put under His feet. The time has now come. The legions of angels that have been standing ready since the night of passion have now been released upon the earth. The hordes of hell have also been released. This is the time that all of creation has been waiting for. The great mystery of God will soon be finished. We will now fight until the end. We will fight with you and your brethren."
I awoke.// (Rick Joyner)
A huge event like a leading fallen angel returning to God could be instrumental in pacifying the wrath or the Lord as predicted in Ecclesiasticus.
1 And Elias the prophet stood up, as a fire, and his word burnt like a torch....
9 Who wast taken up in a whirlwind of fire, in a chariot of fiery horses. 10 Who art registered in the judgments of times to appease the wrath of the Lord, to reconcile the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.(Ecclesiasticus 48:1, 9,10)
About a year or so ago I asked Jesus/Yahushua for a sign if it was true that Azazel had turned back to God and if all of these events were related to his coming. I asked God to give to his people a golf course, an apartment building as well as a Christian campground on the land in Lochiel Lake.
Pastor Benny Hinn, Pastor Patricia King and many others have stated that they were shown that 2010 was a year in which God would begin to take wealth from the wicked and give it to God's servants and people as never before.
It takes about 55 acres to build an 18 hole golf course. I have wanted to donate 75 acres to a group of God's people. Now that E.... is here with Maria Jose and J........ this alters the formula of how this could be worked out. Pastor Freda already has 38 acres so together this would be over 100 acres for this to be built on.
I had wanted to donate this land to five pastors but over this past months as we prayed about this things came much clearer.
I had often wanted to have you Sonia, involved in this but because my Spanish is so weak I didn't know how to help you. Now that Emily is here things are different.
I feel the best way to do this is to incorporate a business and make the 75 acres a part of the assets of the company. I would like to own one percent of the company and be given the title founder because I sure do seem to have been given a vision of one major way in which God can pour blessings on his people.
Among the owners of this company I would love to include:
1. Pastor Sonia .....
2. J....
3. E....
4,5 Pastors Art and Bonnie Sawlor
6,7, Pastors Ken and Shelly Sullivan
8. Pastor Faytene Kryskow
9. Pastor Freda Steeves
10. Dennis Tate (one percent and founder)
I would love for this company to be dedicated to teaching English as well as Spanish at the same time that we teach people about God. Emily could translate messages from Sonia that are put out there to many people through the internet and YouTube and other open doors.
In my 2006 campaign I suggested that people who wish to see jobs created in their areas should form local cooperatives or companies that print up a local currency such as has been done by CalgaryDollars.ca/
Flaws in the Canadian Banking and Taxation System!
A local currency unit can become like a prop in a film series that could be used to reach huge numbers of people all over the world.
I have asked God to give us a school in Ecuador so that the school becomes like a set/stage which we can use to teach both Spanish as well as English. By printing up a local currency unit we could hire students and their parents to enact roles that we want for out company which could help to reduce the cost of education.
This will give you a good background to what I feel God is leading us to do. The Pastors in this company are there to help and mentor the younger members of this company to get a successful business going so that we can accomplish a lot for God through this business.
Sonia, this will give you a good idea of what I have in mind once Emily and Juan Martin translate this and send it to you. Thank you immensely for praying about all this. I feel that this company could be the method that God uses to expand your ministry into Canada and to many other nations.
One promising way of doing this is to transfer 100 acres to J....... 75 is to be transferred as an asset into the company after it is officially incorporated.
Maria Jose told me that you felt that a large blessing was coming their way and I am wondering if this may be a part of it?
Love and blessings.
Dennis Tate
Cool! Click on the one blog entry on my profile to get my basic life story up until around 1990 or so?!
Things really got interesting at that time. I prayed and prayed in such a way that got me into some pretty serious trouble. By 2010 I was nothing less than astonished to still be alive and have been given such an off the scale phenomenal new family!!!!!
I thought you were speaking of that. If you were not, I retract what I said with regards to you, but I stand by my point.......

We are seeing Bible prophecy fulfilled everyday on TV newscasts and in our newspapers! Wars & rumors of wars. The shaking of the global economy. The threat of Muslim extremism. Find the outpouring of God's blessing in your life as America comes under judgment. Don't be SURPRISED this comes before the Rapture. Learn how to thrive even in trying times!
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
......In my opinion it is going to cost trillions of dollars to do what needs to be done to protect towns like Truro, and Antigonish, Nova Scotia from the consequences of the cracking and sliding of a large part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and the land based Greenland Ice Pack into the ocean.
The province of Quebec seems to be in much better position to create its own provincial currency unit without facing the massive backlash from the financial community and federal government that Alberta experienced.
Dr. James Hansen has stated that the last time that global temperatures rose by three degrees ocean levels rose by 25 meters over four centuries. Canada and the world are NOT yet prepared for ocean rise of one meter every twenty years.
Nearly one hundred million people in Bangladesh alone will become climate change refugees in the event of merely a one meter rise in ocean levels!
Montreal, Quebec would be a phenomenal place for dialogue to begin between Moslems, Christians, agnostics and Jews who are concerned about climate change and wish to help the people of Bangladesh and all coastal communities.
This message posted to an Islamic group February 27, 2012 (that has since that time been either deleted or hidden).... has the potential to utterly transform the relationship between the Islamic world and the western democratic nations!
"scientific miracles of islam
Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) spoke very carefully about a scientific fact realized by scientists few years ago. He said ( God will not held day of resurrection unless Arab land returns greens and rivers again ) [Narrated by Muslim.]
scientifically, it was proved that one day the Arabian peninsula was full of greens and rivers as satellite photos confirm that there are buried rivers under the sand of Arab land , one of the great scientists of the American space agency (NASA) says that the taken photos for the desert had shown that one day this area was covered with rivers and lakes like Europe and one day in the future it will back again like the past."
I thought you were speaking of that. If you were not, I retract what I said with regards to you, but I stand by my point.
They're killing people of every religion in Syria. Lots of Muslim friends' families have fled, and several of my friends have family members that were killed over the past couple months. It's not about being Muslim or Christian or anything else in Syria. What's happening there is just sick.
The same thing we can do for other refugees and victims of ethnic cleansing and human rights violations.After teaching English in Quito, Ecuador for over a year I returned home to Nova Scotia determined to become more socially and politically active.
I have the feeling that there must be something constructive and specific that socially and politically active Christians and Muslims aught to be able to be able to do at this time that can improve as well as even save some lives over the coming weeks, months and years?????!!!!

Muslims killing others including fellow muslims, is usually, for Islamic reasons.I don't have detailed info on syria to say the killings are exclusively islamic.
There were exceptions like saddam's war with iran, since saddam was really not much in to islam.

Imam calls for jihad and caliphate, picks up gun during Friday prayers - Jihad Watch
The same thing we can do for other refugees and victims of ethnic cleansing and human rights violations.
- Pray for them
- Have our homes open to those who have been able to flee
- Give money and other aid to those who are working on their behalf
- If possible, go to the conflict zone as a human rights monitor or human shield or nurse or doctor
- Lobby politicians to stop any co-operation with the oppressors
- Keep spreading awareness, don't let the issue "die down" in the awareness and consciousness of others you know"
- Boycott business and picket embassies of countries that are directly involved in the oppression
Trust God, and let Him use to create justice in the world. Be Jesus' hands and feet.
As the St. Louis was turned away from the United States, a group of academics and clergy in Canada tried to persuade the nation's Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King, to provide sanctuary to the ship's passengers, as it was only two days from Halifax, Nova Scotia.[9] But, Canadian immigration officials and cabinet ministers hostile to Jewish immigration persuaded the Prime Minister on June 9 not to intervene.[10]
Jewish refugees aboard the MS St. Louis while the ship was docked in the port of Havana.
Captain Gustav Schröder,[11] the commander of the ship, was a non-Jewish German who went to great lengths to ensure dignified treatment for his passengers. He arranged for Jewish religious services and commanded his crew to treat the refugee passengers as they would any other customers on the cruise line. As the situation of the vessel deteriorated, he personally negotiated and schemed to find them a safe haven (for instance, at one point he formulated plans to wreck the ship on the British coast to force the passengers to be taken as refugees). He refused to return the ship to Germany until all the passengers had been given entry to some other country.

Mary A Burris:
"February 6, 2009
While spending time with the Lord He reminded me of Ali's funeral (Ali was my first husband who was murdered in 94/95) and how the Holy Spirit had me praying in tongues and in travail for the muslim people's salvation in Christ Jesus.
He assured me that He heard my prayer that day. Suddenly I became very excited in my spirit and asked the Holy Spirit
"What's going on?"
This is what He said:
You'll see... It'll be explosive when it happens. They will flock towards salvation as the hardness is lifted off of their hearts and the scales are removed from their eyes. They are a passionate people but their purpose has not yet been served. Upon the fulfillment of their role in the history of mankind there will be a flood of souls pouring into the kingdom of God for His glory. They have been scorned, they have been accused, but the ones who are pure in heart shall see God. When He reveals Himself to them in all His glory they will prostrate themselves before Him in a way they have never done before. When He opens the eyes of their understanding and unstops their ears to hear what His Holy Spirit is revealing the waves of tears of repentance will flood the ground they occupy and they will be purged once and for all time of the stains of their unbelief. The Lord is calling out for a pure and holy nation before God and He will do as He chooses and choose as He pleases and mankind will truly stand in awe of His mighty Majesty and Splendor as the precious souls are ushered into His kingdom.
GIVE HIM PRAISE AND GLORY!

Wow! You are an astonishingly active group! I have been discussing what we can specifically do to assist Christian and Jewish refugees fleeing the violence in Syria and the name of your organization was given to me on page 2 of this discussion thread!
If I could talk Sir Richard Branson into printing up $28 billion George Malloy Dollars would you be able to use any as a prop in some of your projects?!?!
