Questions about How Laura Silsby Could Afford the Haiti Mission

Painful to read but strongly encouraged. Read the readers’ comments at the bottom of the article. See how a Christian businessperson’s failure to pay employees, vendors, and the government (taxes) hurts the testimony of Christ. My heart ached as I read the comments.

Laura Silsby, a Boise business woman who led the group Baptists to Haiti, was due to appear at a hearing in Fourth District Court in Boise Wednesday for a lawsuit filed by former Personal Shopper employee Robin Oliver.

With Silsby still in Haiti, awaiting judgment on whether she and 9 other Americans broke the law in trying to take 33 children across the Dominican Republic border, a judge reset the trial for June 1.

Silsby founded Personal Shopper, then eFunz.com, in 1999. She is listed as president on the company’s last annual report.

Oliver says she’s owed about $22,000 in unpaid wages.
