Thanks Josiahs for breaking the ’taboo’. While, from your experience, mission is not talking about money, it looks to me as if the Church is on the other side of the divide. It seems as if everything is about money. The prosperity ministry is about money and its inflence even on orthodox denominations is outstanding. The means for raising it is not always biblical nor are accounts straight. While about $10 a year is given to world missions. It is my opinion that so much more are being collected in the name of missions. Part of the problem may be lack of awareness leading to lack of understanding of what is world mission. The head of Church group once said that he ’is not interested in wolrd missions’ but someone had given him about $27,000.00 a few weeks back for ’missions’. 98% of that money remained at headquarters.The influence of faith missions in world mission also contributes. Its not that we dont need money, neither are missionaries pretending that we don’t need it in large amounts but honestly missionaries are not willing to do what the church is doing to get it. While agreeing that we need to discuss more honourable means of raising more resources, I posit that we may need to do more awareness. There are many well meaning people who are already contributing resources to world missions doing secular work that we may have to organise to increase the mobilization work force. There are other sides to the issue that may come out as we discuss.
