Good Spiritual Leaders, Pastors and Missionaries want to have a relationship with the Churches with whom they are associated. This relationship is not based on financial backing but upon a caring ministry for the Church or Churches. Discerning Churches are far more ready to support people who are not basing relationships on trying to get something.
