1 Corinthians 16

Paul closed his first letter to the Corinthians with instructions for collecting an offering for the poor Christians in Jerusalem. He recounted his plans to come see them and discussed how long he might stay. He also told them who else they might expect to come to them and asked that they be treated well.

Traveling missionaries should always be greeted with open arms. Anyone who brings the message of God should be treated well and given help when needed so that more people can hear the gospel. Our time and money are well spent when given to such great causes.
