So Leon Peipenbrink would not have rec'd any scrutiny had it not been for his erratic behavior and outrageous claims?! You'd think the irregular accounting from 2007 to 2001 would have set off red flags before that. This occurred all under President Schroeder's watch, in case people are wondering.

Pastor Jackson's standard line was that WELS and ELS pastors were eager for overseas missions opportunities for the travel opportunities. Apparently there's more to it than that. It's a chance to aim the WELS money hose, but some misaim it.
BTW, the LCMS has a mainline church mentality so naturally it is not too interested in missions. Of course, you'll get all the yada-yada no-fault excuses as to why they only have 49 missionaries with a multi-billion dollar budget, even from President Harrison. In the LCMS one doesn't have to go on missions to get ones hands on a money hose.

Shep has a hot potato question for the WELS about possible misuse of the ToF/WELS money hose there:

Here's one place Pr. Harrison makes excuses for the LCMS' low number of missionaries:
