Most countries are third world nations. Many don't allow national organizations but the do allow missionaries. Other places, such as Saudi Arabia, we will always have missionaries there incogneto until SA changes politically
It takes time, money and lots of effort to bring a group of people in a nation up to the point of being financially independent enough to build churches, train their own church builders.
And even then they often still don't have the means to evangelize their entire nation so we still have missionaries who feel called to go there just as we have men here in the states called to go into some city and start a church
