Hold on, sir. I believe this was an honest question that few people dare to ask today for fear of mission board directors jumping their case. I suppose you also have scriptural "proof" for a mission board also. Paul did not go on "deputation." The churches he personally started communicated with him financially, but he went without "support."

I think the question was an honest one that should be treated fairly and given more of an explanation than the one given.
