The plane tickets are purchased but the
response to requests for monetary donations are uneven, causing concern for some.
Reading in Phillipians 4:14-20 we are reminded of the earliest missionaries'
struggles and learn to rely on God to meet our needs. "Yet
it was good of you to share in my troubles. Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your
acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one
church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; for even when I was in
Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be
credited to your account. I have
received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that
I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering,
an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according
to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. To
our God and Father be glory for ever and
ever." Amen.
