Deputation

[John of Japan]

ummm, I'm totally confused now, Salty....Pete's in Australia and you're mentioning him to me because...........??

We are going to Japan.....probably not the same area as John of Japan, though we do hope to meet him and his wife someday there. raying:


Pastor Jack, I think you'd be pleasantly surprised with some of the mission boards now - at least the ones in IFBdom. Ours does not take any support from us, they are totally supported by churches. Any salaries they receive are paid for either by their own deputation efforts, or by the church that runs the board.
More and more mission boards that I've seen lately are doing things like this and what JoJ described.

They are just a help-tool for us, though, so I don't feel anyone should feel pressure to use a board.

Our board has such a low fee for the missionaries because the director and representatives all raise their own support. We consider the 5% just a fee for very valuable services rendered in taking care of our money, taking care of other financial matters, representing us to foreign governments (one thing a church has difficulty doing), backing us up in an emergency (they can get us out of the country in the event of a war, etc.). :type:

I agree, I like that kind of Board. At least they are not all wearing three piece suits and sitting at the high places at meetings.
