Re: Why do We Romanticize Foreign Missions?
When we were Home Missionaries, we were treated terribly and were expected to give to EVERY department to prove we were "cooperating". Foreign Missionaries are held up high and Home Missionaries are the dung on the feet of the American Church. I know that's strong, it's just my opinion.

It's true. Of course, you will be called a whiner for saying so.

Its changed almost completely in the WI District. I can't speak for elsewhere.
There is still a push for "cooperation" but its understood that daughter works and home mission churches may not be in a position to do so.

So I've been told. LOL!
But if what I've seen posted by my accuser is an example of "corn", I don't want it or need it.
