Tarheel I appreciate the well thought out reply and honesty. The truth is there is no Scripture to base these questions directly on. I have to say I went to a Christian School (not college) that was made up of 5 different Baptist churches, and they ran by the lowest common denominator. I was appaled to find porno passed in the locker room, swearing that took place time to time, and the fact that a self-acclaimed Satanist went to school there as well. Needless to say I wasn't enrolled very long...

This is not to say that this is the way it will always be when there is this type of collaboration. Never the less the chances of things like this taking place are a great possibility.

That then leads to the fact that not every church - like the one I currently pastor, as well as the majority of churches which range from small to medium - could ever hope to become some type of missions agency, let alone help their own missionaries in the way an org like BIMI can...Nor could I truly give a balanced education that I believe you could find at a place like ABC or such to a man or men who have the call of God on their lives.
