When Jesus sent the disciples out two by two into the cities where He would soon minister, He told them, "Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.  Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.  Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.  And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.  And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.  And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.”  What do you suppose He meant by that?  Jesus meant that the people out working to share the gospel were doing it for God and they should be paid for it.  In that day meals, coats and shoes would be the pay as well as a place to live in each city or town.  Now when missionaries go out, they have to raise their support by nearly begging from church to church.  From their support they must buy their own things and pay their housing and travel, etc… 

Praize.com is a missional ministry.  Sarah and Jim and all who work with them in Praize are mission minded.  Their focus is in reaching out to places to which they cannot travel with the Word of God.  There is a ripe harvest out there just waiting to be brought in.  Bless the Lord, even remote places, nowadays, have Internet or satellite, so can access all the information available through Praize.  Even Muslim countries can receive this information, although covertly.  But Jim and Sarah can’t do it alone.  They need back-up.  They need the pay check which the Lord said they are worthy to receive for spreading the gospel. 

Please say a prayer when you read this.  Ask the Lord what He wants you to contribute to His work.  Then do what He suggests.  It will only bring blessings to your life.
