Public Comments

1. they let God provide knowing that they r doing His will
2. that's a position they don't take. get it? missionary position har har har
3. They solely rely on God for their housing, food and supplies.
4. It depends on which agency sends them. Most would have a system of retirement savings in place, such as Guidestone Financial Services of the Southern Baptist Convention. Those who go on their own would presumably have to get with a personal financial planner and figure out a retirement plan along the same lines as small business owners and other self-employed persons.
5. They actually rely on the Lord for everything that they need to live. Now that's true faith.
6. My brother was a missionary for years, they have a retirement program just like any other business. Also, considering they received free housing while in the mission field they often can save quite a bit of their salary for later use.
7. they can also go to places where precious metal and gems are cheaper and smuggle them back to the U.S.
