The Joy of Mission's Giving

In this concluding section of the Epistle, the Apostle takes the time to thank the Philippians for their faithful financial support of His ministry. Not only had they contributed to the needs of the poor brethren in Judea but they had also been generous in their support of the Apostle Paul. They had sent Epaphroditus to give Paul some financial assistance. The example of the Philippian church serves as a powerful challenge to us as we seek to be a channel for the Lord to use for the support of missions.
