After returning from my trip to Europe, I started to ask myself...do these missionaries really have to go through this whole deputation stuff and being a part of a mission board? It's a bummer that churches drop their support and then it becomes difficult to stay on the field. What do you guys think? Are these mission boards necessary or is there a better or easier way to do foreign missions?
 
Yes. Do missions in your own backyard. If you want to do foreign missions, plan on staying there, get a job and get started on citizenship.

IMO, treat missionaries as staff.  If a church is unable to pay them as a full time staff, don't send them out.

Not that it matters, but I concur.

Right. Because so many countries in the world allow US citizens easily emigrate and get a job...

Little Francis knows very little about HAC/FBCH yet he hangs around the HAC FFF spouting off his negativity.

If they have a skill the country wants, sure. As an engineer, I could probably get into any country. Also nurses, doctors, highly skilled trades. Now Dr Bob from Bible Basement University...

Trying to hang around the cool ones, eh!

Look here, Francis, if you want to be one of the big boys on campus like me, walk a lil slower.

Yes, forsake the thought of a guy that loves the Lord and goes to Bible college to train for the mission field. 
 
Newsflash: Bible college isn't a requisite for missions. And, if you want to serve in a closed country, it's likely a negative. Even Paul was a tentmaker.
 
That's actually the way I have been contemplating on doing. Go to a country that allows dual citizenship and then get a job there. Missionaries get into much trouble with this supporting church stuff

I like this road of thought.

Good point.  Most 18 year old kids are mature and firmly grounded and should be able to know exactly how to establish churches on a foreign mission field.  They don't need no stinkin' trainin'!!
 
Most 18 year olds shouldn't be establishing churches. Elders are generally more grey.

I have to thank you though. It's the first time I noticed THAT commonality between the IFB and LDS.

The older I get, I wonder if 22 year old's are mature enough for full time ministry? 

I think, some or many get hurt at the expense of the 22 year old maturing process of being on staff. 

Even, lets say a 22 year old as a Youth Pastor, I mean, really what does he know about life?  Not trying to be ugly, but really have considered this at times.

Even when you have something worthwhile to say it comes across as ignorant.
 
Are there any pros in being apart of a mission board? Or what are the cons of being on a mission board?

Some say that it is the job of the local church. 

On the other hand, I do know in some churches, the leadership can barely show up on time.  So, I can see the need for mission boards.
