No Problem, I agree the "American" has done great harm on foreign soil by offering money to the nationals. It has been one of the greatest hinderances to pure missions works such as you and your husband, and many others. Fortunately for me, I had some wonderful missions advisors that warned me against this when I first started missions work some 10+ years ago. What I have witnessed in India, the Philippines, and a few other places is almost a bidding war pledging allegiance to whoever will pay the highest. IMHO this prostitutes the Gospel and does much harm.
