Serving as Senders
"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ"
Philippians 1:3-6
As we can see from the book of Philippians, Paul has a team of committed believers supporting him while on his missionary journey.
