From Gerry Milligan
I see where David Platt is wanting to leave the IMB. I was thankful that we had already retired when he came to the IMB. I know that he inherited a terrible financial situation, but was his solution the best? Where is the IMB financially now? Dr. Cal Guy at SWBTS was a great proponent of an experienced missionary leading the IMB. Before David Platt we had two former missionaries who were not able to bring financial stability to the IMB. I do not know who God has in mind to lead the IMB, but hope that the trustees find God's chosen man.
IMB, again

Gerry, I haven't heard anyone say that the IMB is in anything but a stable financial condition. Do you think otherwise?

"Not following" in what sense?

IMB says revenues are sufficient for 4k. I don't think there is a magic pill to jack up CP revenues. LM is at record levels, save for the one post-VRI year, reserves are up. If Platt was expected to motivate SBC churches to radical levels of giving, that was an unrealistic expectation.
