Nobody said that it did.
You said that the poorest people of the world are not saved. Do you realize how many Christians there are who are poor even right here in the U.S.? And here you are saying that the poorest of people are not saved. How do you think your statement about them would make them feel? After all they've been through, all the suffering, yet they are still saved. Or is being poor a sin in your view? Does being poor mean that one is not saved?

What would being saved mean in India?
Why do you keep saying that? There are three million Christians in India. The conditions there are because of those in power. It is not because people aren't saved there.

For heaven's sake does God CARE?

We weren't promised a rose garden in this world. Jesus said that we would have suffering, problems and troubles in this world but to take heart because he has overcome the world.
John 16:33 I have spoken these things to you so that you shall have peace in me. You shall have suffering in the world, but take heart, I have overcome the world.”

He also said:
John 15:20 “Remember the word that I have spoken to you, that there is no servant greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours.”

John 15:18 And if the world hates you, know that it hated me before you.”

Matt. 6:33But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34Therefore you shall not be concerned about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be concerned for itself. A day's own trouble is sufficient for it.

Matt. 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

But all of God's blessings depend upon faith … if you believe it is God's will for you to be poor … how can God bless you?
First of all, I haven't said that it is God's will for me or anyone to be poor. There's a difference between getting what I might want and what I need. He will provide what I need and he has or else I wouldn't be alive right now. I certainly wouldn't have been able to survive what I've been through without God's help and blessing.

I think the real question is what kind of blessings do we expect from God. What blessings really matter and are most important. We need to see the big picture and not just this temporary life here in this world.

Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

James 2:5 Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?

Proverbs 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, ...

2 Corinthians 6:9-10 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.

Mark 8:34-37 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul?

Matthew 19:23-25 And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

Matthew 8:19-20 And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

Matthew 6:24“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

Proverbs 2:1-22My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. ...
