Most home missionaries work jobs. Foreign missionaries are fully supported.
Not only are foreign missionaries fully supported with a great salary and benefits, they also receive a lot of funding to build facilities.
Home missionaries, on the other hand, are mostly on their own. Metro missions pays a small portion of HM pastors salaries, and there are loan programs, like church in a day, that helps with facility costs. However, these programs are tiny compared to foreign missions.
Mostly, home missionaries are on their own. They have to be full time secular workers, and full time pastors, all while trying to build a congregation and facility in an increasingly secular and anti-Christian society which doesn't trust them.
