*sigh
I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone who devotes their life to the furtherance of the gospel. I can appreciate the sacrifice of one who starts a home missions work. Like I said I have a great deal of insight and perspective from both sides of the issue.
That being said, do some of you honestly and seriously not understand the simple logistical difference between starting and running a single church and running the multitude of works in an entire nation or region?
Like I said earlier, I personally know a missionary whose circumstances are such that they do work a secular job. I said earlier that the size and scope of the work has a lot to do with it. I can assure you that operating the mission fields that I am personally familiar with is much more than a full-time job in and of itself.
...and once again, I would not wish deputation on my worst enemy...
