Finally, John wrote to Gaius in 3 John 1: 5-8, “ Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for these brothers, strangers as they are, who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner worthy of God. 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.”

We are called to support through our giving our Mission Partners. Some of you make ongoing gifts to our Missionaries and that’s great. But together, through our fellowship, we can provide even more support.

Together, let’s raise $5000 for our Mission Partners!
