some facts seem to be omitted.

Some highly relevant facts.

One probable source is mentioned in the opening credits:

One gets the impression from the above article that Hoover, etc, have been downplaying the Christian evangelical connection.

Lombardi and Tomol do not speak for Hoover, but it’s certainly interesting to see how his friends cast their work differently than he does. In a video short on Vimeo, while sensitive folk rock plays in the background, the two speak to the camera about experiencing the poverty and suffering of India. Lombardi says that they’re “down on that level. Getting down with them. Being poor with them.”

And while the “upper classes” don’t care, and the poor are “cursed by the gods,” there is one man working for them — their friend, Rocky Braat. They say that they’re creating another orphanage that will take care of the kids who age out of Braat’s orphanage.

“We just honestly want to help and we want to show our disciples and brothers and sisters the love of Christ,” Tomol says.

We see two young white guys who’ve come to India to do good and who seem quite naïve about their place in the geo-political history of Christians doing work in developing nations. It’s a far less sophisticated approach than that of Blood Brother.
