I understand there is overhead, but how can any organization defend 24% for over head.
Can anyone explain to me how keeping 25% of mission funds helps missions?

I heard that they actually keep more than 100% of the missionary offerings. And that they use that money to buy Ferrari's for all of the big wigs. The GS, DKB, wears custom tailored suits and that HQ flies in tailors and seamstresses from Italy to do all of his fittings.

Foreign Missionaries are then forced to serve pancake breakfasts and spaghetti dinners in small church kitchens to raise funds to pay for their burro travels through the jungles where they again have to sell peanut brittle to brute natives to raise the funds to get back home where HAZALWOOD sends them right out on deputations to pay for the swanky office furniture and bear skin rugs at HQ.

Well, it IS a revenue problem.
