It makes me mad too. Who says that people who minister should be poverty stricken? I think they are blessed and HIGHLY favored of the Lord and deserve what they get. 
Blessings, Rhoni

Ignorance comes from not knowing or walking in the shoes of the other.
You know the whole story and for that you will always be blessed.
Continue the good work...

Re: What makes you mad?
Preacher killers make me mad.
And no, I don't mean the ones who kill with guns.
I'm talking about the killers who sling fiery words like poison darts.

Re: What makes you mad?
I started to be flippant and post "the debbil", then I read the thread. God bless you and Bro. Alvear for the work you do, and the love that sustains your burden.
Back in 1995, I went to Mexico with a group of preachers. I was often embarrassed by their behavior. The term "ugly American" was very appropriate.
