Did I understand correctly?

Sister Alvear · #1 12-03-2009, 11:46 AM

As most know I am not too involved in organizations...however something was brought to my attention and maybe someone could clear this up. When the WPF was formed I thought we were informed it was to help missionaries and nationals and NOT to form another organization on the mission field...Now I understand the are forming WPF on the mission field...Has their motives and plans changed?

(my husband told me that but he does not always understand English correctly) I told him in the beginning I was told by lots of pastors it was to promote people already involved in missions. Maybe things have changed I am not good at keeping up with these things...but since my husband asked some of you mght know...if not I will write and ask them.

Thanks...

I have nothing in any matter against the WPF or UPC...so please do not think I am cheering for some team...just a question my husband asked and wanted to give him the right answer.

Uh, yes Sis, that is correct that they are starting missions.

Why does that not suprise us?

Bro N. and the UPC are currently involved in a spat right now over some property in south America.

Nothing has changed. It was just not widely know and some were in denial, but it was really the best unkept secret that it would ultimately evolve into a full fledged organization. No hard feeling from me, but I knew several years ago what was happening and the direction they were going towards an organizatoin.
Not a WPF bash, just the facts.

Seems like everything they've said they weren't going to do, or weren't going to be has been unwound... at least they are still the "preferred Apostolics"

I had really hoped it would be what it was said that the would be ... I saw someone go behind my back and was informed (by others) that my intentions were pure but not the intentions of someone else..
Things like that make me so sad looking at the harvest field that is so white...I weep because we humans just can´t get along... (Me included many times)
I do plan to speak personally with some of the brothers and not talk behind anyone´s back( because some of these brothers I would put my life at risk to helpthem because I believe in them) however if our goal is to reach the world then we will have to stop worrying about earthly kingdoms...(and that is just the thoughts of an old woman...take it as such)

For now over 41 years I have gleaned in HIS fields...sometimes misunderstood by some because I do not like to take sides in many things and form bitter enemies...I mostly have worked quietly in my little corner...many times without even necessary things...but our hands keep plowing.

( Please forgive me for sayng I...however these are solely my thoughts)
