Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who serve as senders and support missionaries. In Jesus’ name, amen.
One church denomination relies on an annual offering to support their missionaries. Other churches make different arrangements. However funds are raised for these part and full-time workers, the funds and the people play an important part in spreading the Gospel.
Third John 7-8 (ESV) confirms the appropriateness of providing financial support:
“For they have gone out for the sake of the name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.”
Ever been offered an opportunity to support a missionary? If so, come along side of them with prayer and financial support. If not, seek out an individual or organization and donate. Check faith-based organization’s credibility to see if they belong to the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA).
