We tend to want to control if 'our money' goes into projects, and need to learn that: 1.) We have to trust other Christians; 2.)It's 'God's Money' anyway, so let's have Him control the usage. I think there are benefits to outside missionaries, some of which we could use here in the US. It's easy to be blinded to how much we live like our culture in spite of the commands of Scripture. Ultimately I would say we have to compare the principles we see in the Bible to the methods we use. Biblically, we see some churches develop from indigenous gospel propagation (I went to seminary to learn words like that. Now I can use them), but we also see in Acts and in church history that cross-cultural missions work is also a command. The biggest hole I see in adopting one approach over the other, if you have a culture without any Gospel access, who's going? Can we honestly sit back and hope someone else goes? Can we honestly sit back and wait for an American to go? We should any Biblically appropriate method and opportunity to present the Gospel to every tribe and tongue.

I know that some of us do need to go but why do I need to spend $3,ooo to go to India when that money could support several natives for a year or even buy a couple of motorcycles to expand the reach of a ministry? Jeff,
