People lured into Christianity

I think this topic requires a serious consideration because this is a moral issue. I can relate myself to this issue because I studied in Sishu Vidyashram, a boarding school in Baneshwor, where I had a lot of christian friends. They were christians not because they wanted to be, but it was almost forced upon them. Many had their father or their mother in jail. While serving their sentence, their parents had an agreement with some christian orginization that would allow their kid to go to a good school if they agree to become christian. In other instance, they would go to a starving family with an intention to sponser their children if they agree to become christian. So, many of my christian friends were either from a poor family or their parents were serving prison time. However, my school just provided education to those kids, and was not involved with those orginizations. I think people have a right to choose their own religion. But, to turn someone into a different religion out of compulsion does not seem right to me. If those organization are for real, they should help out the needy not on the basis of his/her religion but out of humanity. They should give people a choice, and not force a decision upon them.
