I find it deeply troubling to witness financial dishonesty within certain missionary and ministerial circles in India. Too often, I see leaders exaggerating their work or misrepresenting realities in order to manipulate people into giving. While some pastors and leaders prosper—living in comfort, sending their children to expensive schools, driving cars, enjoying vacations, and residing in air-conditioned homes—the workers who labor faithfully in the field often struggle to afford even a decent meal.

This disparity grieves me. Years ago, I left the mission field because I wanted no part in such practices and chose instead to earn my own living. Yet, after 15 years, God has brought me back. Now I face the same challenge: I see the injustice, but I don’t know how to address it without sounding like I’m complaining or envious. Some might dismiss my concerns as jealousy, which only adds to my frustration. At the same time, I personally struggle to ask for financial support, even though I know it is necessary.
