The Gift Is Acceptable According To What One Has

II Cor 8 is probably the best instruction in the bible about supporting missionaries. Not only are we suppose to take the gospel to the nations...we are to support fellow Christians (brothers and sisters) in their efforts to reach others. Paul describes this support as "the grace of giving".  The Lord put the desire to help others...into our hearts. Are you a co-laborer in God's work...the mission field?

"For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have." I believe this concept of giving to missionaries is consistent with any kind of giving...you need to give when you have a little...because if you wait until you have enough to give...you will never give. So practice giving...it will bring you pure joy.
