People from 3rd world countries are just as smart as Americans but most have never had the chance to own a car, own a home or have what most Americans consider the bare necessities of life...So many times when the flashy Americans come staying in hotels, driving rented cars and money to buy all kinds of souvenirs it is a logical fact that they are impressed.

It is not always that they are not loyal but the fact remains they must survive and many Americans thrive on that fact. Offering them a few dollars more than what they have may mean milk for their babies and rice for their tables.
Many of the nationals know nothing about all our problems in the USA and to use them to build our ego is wrong…terribly wrong. It matters not if it is UPC, ACI, WWF or whoever or whatever else.

Now that is a very factual statement there sister alvear. That is if a minister is still in his pioneering stage of establishing a church. What you have stated is a direct result of native pastors here who'd rather do fasting for the whole week rather than have a secular job to support their families.

May I add that new Filipino ministers today are more open to having dual work both as a minister and some job from the secular world. especially those that are still pioneering new churches...
