Thanks to Andy Flemming, there is some real data on what is happening with support worldwide. Still digesting it, but if the editorial content is disregarded, it seems that Australia and SE Asia are in need of the most help. Australia is not being helped directly by anyone and contributions have dried up from churches that used to support the Pacific Rim World Sector.
More later, but this is the kind of data needed to make some decisions. As the ICoC we can get together and figure out how to help our already existing churches overseas. This would be a great way to get help from various Christian Churches and Churches of Christ.
I’m all for Let’s Start Talking and other ministries, but we do owe our support to our own churches, first. As long as their staff isn’t living an American lifestyle, we should be able to pool together and help out.
More later.
