Why Your Church Should Support Fewer Missionaries

Missionaries

I was on the website of a Baptist church I’ve driven by. According to the website, their normal Sunday morning attendance is 50, which judging by the photos I saw includes a good number of kids.

How many missionaries are listed as receiving support?: 24.
