This past Sunday we were able to give one of the class members who is going on a missions trip $200 to give to the people she will be working with. It is part of sending them out with honour. One of the people who contributed money was an elderly lady who handed me $50 and said that she was going to spend it on herself but this was more important.
Too often we send our missionaries out with a verbal blessing and a promise to pray for them but do we send them out with honour? To send them out with honour is to make their work easier. It is not giving them the left overs or giving them of our abundance but giving them out of love; love for them, love for the people that they are going to and love for the Lord.
Let us always remember to treat those involved in God's work with honour.
