PRINTMy son wants to do an inner city missions program. This program asks for each participant to raise support. I don’t think my son feels comfortable asking for support. What’s the best way to handle asking, and is it biblical to ask for support?
My son wants to do an inner city missions program. This program asks for each participant to raise support. I don’t think my son feels comfortable asking for support. What’s the best way to handle asking, and is it biblical to ask for support?
The quick answer is yes, it's Biblical to raise support. Paul's words to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 9 are especially helpful. Check out his instruction in verse eleven: "If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?...So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel." Thus, the Biblical mandate is that ministers of the word and prayer "get their living from the gospel."
