Silence of Scripture and Bible authority ... Although the first century church had no organization larger than the local church, institutionalists today want to use "sponsoring churches" and "missionary societies" to do the word of evangelism. In the Bible, (Phil. 4:14-16) funds for evangelism, were never sent from one church to another but always directly to a preacher.
