I know several missionaries and have never heard these complaints.
Sounds like sour grapes to me.

This is my take also. I am sure that somewhere, somehow, some missionary has felt done wrong but I would be willing to bet that any funds withheld from the missionaries are for the things various posters listed here like SSI, admin costs, etc that are all legitimate.
I think it is insulting and crazy to suggest that the FM divsion of the UPC does not have missions as it's hearbeat and focus. That it is somehow an investment operation. Ludicrous.
The ironic thing is that for all of the legtimate complaints about the UPC, missions is one of the things that it has done exceedingly well with more bang for the buck than just about any missions organization in the world.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
