Kenneth on how and why they quit the mission field

Missionaries - Thailand.

One of the reasons Margaret and Kenneth resigned from mission work had to do with the role of the national church in Thailand vis-a-vis the missionaries. They both believed the mission was absolutely backward and without vision, that the mission people were not raising up a national church, as they should, and were failing to do the obvious things to create an indigenous, Thai church, instead of just having missionaries running around and being important.
