Yeah, I don't eat vinegar with my fries but have a lot of relatives who do!

I remember when I was little and asked for a Coke (in America). They gave me a Coke! I was so disappointed! Didn't they know they were supposed to ask me which kind?????

Wisdom! This should be the natural and logical outcome of a successful endeavor and the ultimate goal of missions. Yes, it is much easier said than done. All the more reason to be aggressive in our training of National leaders.

Why is this any different than raising up a successful and autonomous Daughter Work here in the States? Only the scale is different.

Drost has also accused other missionaries in Mexico of things that are absolutely false. Anyone that has to smear someone else's character to protect his own should not be trusted. To me, if he really cared about Mexico, he would have been like the "real mother" of the child Solomon wanted to divide and would have departed in peace, trusting God to vindicate him in the end. All I see here is another Jimmy Swaggart, self absorbed and thinking that revival can't happen without him.

I knew there was a problem when I went to the Mexican General Conference last year and they had a woman in tight pants and plunging neck line on the platform singing, "Holy, holy, Holy..God in three persons. Blessed Trinity"! I kid you not!! David Wilkerson once said that when a minister is harboring secret sin, his discernment departs. Looks like Ol' Dave was right!!

S’cuse me

The GMB is not sharing the details of the initial problems, apparently, and DKB implies that they cannot do so without harming reputation[s].

Since Bro. Drost ALSO left that information out of his video, it does point to there being some truth to that implication.

I attended the 2011 General Conference in Mexico City. You could cut the tension with aknife. The opening servive featured a non-Apostolic female singer , wearing pants, who sang "Holy, Holy, Holy..Blessed Trinity." I kid you not. Though that was incidental, it threw fuel on the fire of those doubting Drost's leadership.

A member of the naional board of UPCM (IPUM) did tell me of some of the charges. I do not know of the validity of the charges, but they did warrant investigation.
