I'm sure you are a honest hearted good person. I know people who know your family personally and I've never heard anything but good about your ministry. I hope you're not taking my criticism of the religious system personally, but paying tithes to a man in a man made system just isn't scriptural at all.
Concerning missionaries, when does the local body of believers begin to support themselves? There have been missionaries of hundreds of denominations going to Africa and South America for decades and decades, by the thousands, and yet the local assemblies aren't able to support themselves? Why isn't the gospel working for them after all these years. What's wrong?
Again, I'm not attacking you personally, but the missionary business is just another division of the big business of religion. If the gospel isn't working enough to free the people from poverty then the wrong gospel is being preached.
