Re: 24% of UPC missions money goes to overhead?

Well, don't forget in that cumulative number there may be things that help the missionaries.

If I remember right they get a 403b (similar to a 401k) so they don't have to retire in abject poverty...

Re: Tithing, Mandate for the New Testament Church?

The way most church planters do it.

Re: My Experience Changing Churches
