Scripture

3 John 1

5 Dear friend, you are being faithful to God when you care for the traveling teachers who pass through, even though they are strangers to you. 6 They have told the church here of your loving friendship. Please continue providing for such teachers in a manner that pleases God. 7 For they are traveling for the Lord, and they accept nothing from people who are not believers. 8 So we ourselves should support them so that we can be their partners as they teach the truth.

Observation

Traveling teachers might be our modern day evangelist or maybe even our missionaries that go all over the world. People that travel from church to church from place to place need the support of the church. As they go and reach people for Christ we can actually go with them if we are helping them financially.

I have enjoyed watching some of our senior adults partner with some of our younger adults as these younger adults went on a mission trip to Cuba. As these young adults came back and shared their mission experience I could see the joy in the faces of those senior adults that gave to make the mission trip possible.

Not everyone is called to be traveling preachers and teachers but those that are need our support. Who are you supporting?

Are you willing to give?

Application

I will give something to a traveling teacher/preacher this week.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You that you have made a way for us to partner with those that take the Gospel to places where we can’t. Bless our missionaries today that live on what we are willing to give them. I pray for our missionary friends today that you bless them. I pray that you give them energy, give them the desires of their hearts, answer their prayers and make their plans successful.
