Asking for Support for Your Ministry
As the apostle Paul writes letters to the early churches, he asks for help for himself personally, for others devoted to full-time gospel ministry, and for believers in need. Let’s look at 1 Corinthians 16:1-11.
If you want to study more about supporting other believers, giving, and generosity, read Philemon 12-14, 3 John 5-8, 2 Corinthians 8 and 9.

Question 1 of 4
1. Question
Read 1 Corinthians 16:1-4. Who does Paul ask the Corinthian church to support in these verses? What kind of support does he ask for?
Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem. If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.

Question 2 of 4
2. Question
Now read 1 Corinthians 16:5-9. Who does Paul ask the Corinthian church to support in these verses? What kind of support does he ask for?
After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you—for I will be going through Macedonia. 6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go. For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost, because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.

Lastly, read 1 Corinthians 16:10-11. Who does Paul ask the Corinthian church to support in these verses? What kind of support does he ask for?
When Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord, just as I am. No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.
