In reply to Pamela Gohil.

Supporting local native missionaries is very important and fully in step with the mission work of apostle Paul's model. Our American missionaries are great in starting the mission and providing education and witness. Natives know the culture and the needs. There also may be an economic factor for more local missionaries that can be supported for the same amount of contributions. Telling the congregations about Mission experiences by missionaries on furlough also engages the sponsoring congregations more vividly.
