Markus Young Divine Inheritance

Divine Inheritance Website
Marcus Young is the second cousin of Bill Young of CIA, Drugs, and missionary fame.

Marcus runs an "orphanage" after the typical pattern of taking children to a place to use it to raise funds and build a big mission.

He works with the Wa, interesting, since that is mostly Burma related.

Located in Maesai, and given his Uncle's involvement with the Lahu and drug runners dating back to the Vietnam war, one can only guess the ongoing dynasty.

Markus Young Divine Inheritance Plant Pine on Hill Tribe Lands
Missions Planting Pine?
It boggles the mind but runs according to a script that now mission websites ask donors to donate money to plant pine.

Pine, the tree that was a justification for generals and others to seize thousands of acres from the Akha, is now promoted by missionaries such as Markus Young of "Divine Inheritance". Is this the inheritance that Jesus asked us to promote when he said "thy neighbour as thyself"?

The Petroleum Authority of Thailand and Mechai's PDA joined to plant pine on land stolen from the hilltribe, and now CIA buddies like the Youngs have joined the bandwagon. Promoting pine as an investment, while thousands of acres were already turned into mono crop forests lacking in one single animal or bird, the undergrowth destroyed, the soil spoiled. These decisions contributed to rice shortages that now exist in the world, as indigenous peoples and their knowledge were shoved aside for profit. Markus speaks of 120 years of mission in the region, he fails to mention his one relative a weapons dealer and his other relative, Bill Young, a drug dealer.

Funny how missionaries so readily forget while joined to the despots who oppress the poor.

The public should be very concerned when missionaries are promoting mono crop forests in food growing regions.
