Well that is poorly misguided thought. First off there is a difference between borrowing and asking for donations to support a life and ministry. I don't think I have ever seen a missionary or Pastor asking for donations to support their work with the intent of repaying anything. So the borrowing aspect of your indictment is totally out there. LOL.
