In other places like Brazil when you are a missionary to several peoples including tribes, you not only don't just have a thriving church that has tons of money, but you have to drive and even hike to people living out in the boonies.
Someone that can be a missionary to a place like Germany can probably get a decent paying job too

Nope. Most euro countries no jobs. That includes spouses of execs that are positioned in europe. Lot of countries are very protective. (except for Muslims)

Did you ask before your feathers got so ruffled you'd come here and start a single thread with the soul purpose of attacking this lady?

Re: Misssionaries With God Complexes
I am giving Owl the benefit of doubt, as I think he misunderstood Sister Alvears post on Facebook.

Re: Misssionaries With God Complexes
We are all just humans and we often see things differently. No hard feelings on my part we just think differently...

Re: Misssionaries With God Complexes
My mom had a huge collection of christian books and cassettes when I was a child. I'll never forget reading one called Of Caesar's Household. It was about a family of missionaries in either Colombia or Brazil, I won't go into detail what happened to their family but I have nothing but the utmost respect for missionaries.
