Over a challenging three years, the pastor, his entire congregation,<br />
tourists from California, churches from other regions, and<br />
three expert bricklayers erected a beautiful center of worship.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fulfillment of this dream offers all aspiring missionaries<br />
the principles by which our ministries can be funded:<br />
Vision attracts resources.<br />
Sacrifice inspires others to participate.<br />
Perseverance gives God time to work on our behalf.<br />
This simple reminder of God’s provision compels us—as does<br />
the psalmist’s repetition of the Hebrew term selah—to “pause and<br />
meditate.”<br />
My Thoughts So Far<br />
As you trust that God will provide for his ministry, think back<br />
through this chapter’s key questions. <strong>The</strong>n ask the Holy Spirit to<br />
guide you, through God’s Word and through prayer, as you answer<br />
the questions below in light of what you currently understand from<br />
God. Finally, discuss your responses, concerns, and any unanswered<br />
questions with a leader or friend in your local church as<br />
you explore how you could become a missionary.<br />
What are my perspectives, both positive and negative, toward raising<br />
prayer and financial support?<br />
