Re: Missionary Appreciation Thread
For those of us who love to travel and visit foreign countries I know a common thread is that as much as we enjoy a week or two abroad it is always good to get home. I greatly admire those who leave their homeland and venture out to other lands and cultures to take the Gospel.
I hope God blesses every missionary that takes the good news to lost people with a good vehicle to drive, a good home to base out of, and the means to live, buld churches, stay healthy, and visit home. Do they have to have those things? No but there is no reason God cannot provide them. Believe me no matter how many nice things they might have they sacrifice a lot in their work.

Titus2woman on AFF
"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."
