Shouldn’t the organizations that hire missionaries also pay them?
Ask yourself: where do missionary organizations get their funds? A commercial company sells a product or a service. They are paid and so can pay their employees. A mission organization sells the gospel. But it’s free, so they don’t get any revenue. Where can they get it?
Denominations take offerings in their churches and pool the funds to support their missionaries.

Interdenominational missions, (sometimes called faith missions) have to rely on the Christian public. Of course they rely on God too, but He puts it on the hearts of the Christian public to send in funds. If you wish to support a missionary and get a tax-deductible receipt, you must send the contribution to the mission agency. They are responsible to the IRS to exercise control over those funds.
Some office workers may receive a salary, but most missionaries get paid from designated funds. Either way, missions do pay those who work for them.
