Around of Paul, there were faithful people such as Timothy and Epaphroditus. Paul confess about them and sent them to the church. Paul said that Timothy served him as he served his own father and he took care of interests of the Lord, Jesus in the world where people liked to look for their own interests. And he said about Epaphrodotus, who threw this life into dangerous situatuion to help Paul, exactly he didn't care his body's health. So he was loved by Paul. But I don't think Paul loved him because of his own benifits, but because of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul pleasured them they knew the heart of Paul how he longered for the Gospel, for serving the Lord and for serving the church. Even he sent them to the church so that they would take care of the church before him. ?
I think in the morning who are my fellow workers like Timothy and Epaphroditus. Praise the Lord. Because kenyan pastors love to join my ministries without any personal support as volunteers. I trust they are serving the church with the heart of the Lord and the heart of me. At the same time, I decide to look for more fellow pastors who will work together. They will be pastors who will look out the interests of Jesus, will be committeed to the Gospel and won't take care of their own sake. ? O, Lord open my eyes to see your faithful servants. O, Lord give your servants as my fellow workers. So make us serve your church in this lovely country. Amen. ?
