I don't know any home missionaries with that luxury.

I think it's great that missionaries are well cared for.

I hardly ever post but I would like to comment here.....

Most missionaries that I know are very capable business people. That is how we end up with structured organizations that we do. Sensible people don't mind investing into the Kingdom of God when they can see and hear about where their money is going.
The same people could be in North America with a great income....If you compare what they could have, as to what they retire with, we are talking peanuts.

If you think it is such a lap of luxury...we will move over and let you have at it.

I think that you are a "Bitter Bozo"...you certainly don't know Sis. Alvear to speak of her in the manner that you do.

Owl...You need a "Boot to your Hoot!"
