Occasionally petitioner hired individuals to assist him in
producing his newsletter; however, the assistants usually
declined payments for their services.
The DFM did not provide petitioner with an office, supplies,
support staff, car, or any other equipment to facilitate his
work. Petitioner used his personal car to itinerate local
churches and used his personal telephone to contact such
churches. Petitioner withheld these expenses from the pledges
received prior to forwarding the balance to the DFM.
Petitioner began receiving a personal allowance on December
31, 1991, in the amount of $1,125 per month. Petitioner was
eligible to receive a monthly allowance before that time;
however, he declined to receive his allowance for some time
because his wife was working and the family was able to meet its
expenses without depleting petitioner's missionary account with
the DFM.
Petitioner and his family departed for Bangladesh on March
30, 1993. The DFM did not assign petitioner to work on a
particular project in Bangladesh. Petitioner chose to become
involved in student ministry development in Bangladesh that
involves teaching classes in an Assemblies of God Bible School.
Petitioner also coordinates an outreach program where he
supervises students that are starting new churches in various
villages. Petitioner was not directly supervised or evaluated by
anyone from the DFM or elsewhere.
