The LCMS (or some synod within a synod part of LCMS) is sending a missionary to Philadelphia (video link below). The way the LCMS runs missions, they require a million bucks to field each missionary. I understand the IC gets a big cut of the pie. I cringe whenever I see President Harrison go on a Mercy Journey since he's probably distributing a million buck each time. He ought to go on a Mercy Journey to his own seminaries and distribute a million in cash to needy seminary students:

GJ - How about blowing a million dollars suing four elderly women, so Missouri can steal the church property?
There is no pizzazz in supporting seminary students. World missions create free world travel opportunities.
The LCA world hunger boss managed to travel to every country in the world, to inspect his field of labor.
Pope John the Malefactor went on world trips to celebrate the harrowing of the Little Sect on the Prairie.
