Yes and I'm there are home missionaries who move to California from the east coast away from family or friends. I know some actually. I guess its a matter of being 3 K miles away or 7K miles away. Sacrifices are abound for sure in the missionary field, at home or abroad.
I always wondered why there wasn't a system like foreign missions for Home missions in the UPC. However recent developments are showing some signs of it developing. The UPC (not sure about other orgs) tend to use the mother-daughter work concept. I wonder what would happen if churches used the same setup for missionaries? I suppose churches would not be able to support as many as they do.
