LEVELS OF PARTNERSHIP
MINISTER PARTNERSHIP (A)
Luke8:1-4:-Not long afterwards he began a tour of the cities and villages of Galilee... Susanna, and many others who were contributing from their private means to the SUPPORT of Jesus and his disciples.
Minister partnership is simply supporting a minister of the gospel personally by seeing to his/her welfare needs.
The scripture above made it clear that JESUS CHRIST our Lord&His disciples had people that supported them financially. Don't forget that some of His disciples were married&they had to pay bills like school fees,etc.
We weren't told that Jesus collected or forcefully collected prophet offering as some ministers are doing today, believers who recognised that He was God-sent contributed for His needs. When a minister's needs are met, he would have time to focus on his calling.
You have to understand that ministers are humans with needs just like you. It is biblical to support a man that is truly called of God fulfilling his calling. Don't wait until your Pastor or that missionary ask for support, be interested in His welfare.
Adopt a missionary or any minister you are convinced about His ministry, give him the support you can.
