Missionaries still working for Profit...

Post by _Drifting »

DLL pioneer treks start the second week in June and run through the third week of August. There will be a $15.00 fee for each trek participant. This fee applies to everyone on the trek and helps offset the costs of the handcarts, portable toilets, etc. The fee remains the same whether a trek spans three or four days as the week is reserved for the participating group.

To secure the reservation, a $500.00 deposit is required by January 1st - year of the scheduled trek. The check should be made out to Deseret Land and Livestock Pioneer Treks and sent to P.O. Box 250, Woodruff, UT, 84086. If the deposit is not received by this date, the reservation will be given to a stake on the waiting list.

At the beginning of the trek, the trek leaders will provide the missionaries with the number of participants and a check for the remaining amount due. The missionaries will give the leaders a receipt. If there is a large discrepancy between the amount the check is made for and the number of people who attend, the ranch will refund the difference.

You have no proof that this is a "for profit" operation. And you fail to mention that the missionaries at this site are "couple missionaries", which likely means that they are not participating in the typical church missionary system (leaving home, paying their way)...likely they are local.
However, given the operation and the ownership structure, it is likely a non-profit entity.
But, i would be interested in seeing your evidence that the missionary supported Trek is a "for profit" business.

The proof is in the link, [non-Celestial insinuation deleted]!
