  26. It's a shame that when missionaries come back home for a well-deserved time
  27. of rest and renewal, they have to spend all their energy running from
  28. church to church asking for more support.  The whole system of "deputizing"
  29. is exhausting, emotionally and physically.  Moral of the story: Every
  30. believer should give *sacrificially*.
