We are still in need of Helping Hands for this year’s mission projects. Specifically, we need volunteers to help build churches in the Dominican Republic and in Belize. I’ll have several things to share about that here on the blog, the newsletter and elsewhere. Just treat this post as a friendly reminder. Our constant needs are 3: prayer, volunteers and resources. Each church construction supply list will take about $4,000.00. So, how should people react to those facts? Let me a make a suggestion – from Scripture of course!
Gaius was an FWT!
Take a look at Third John – (not John 3). The Apostle referred to Gaius as a fellow worker in the Truth. That is a title all of us should want! John’s comments do not indicate Gaius physically labored with anyone. But John commended Gaius for supplying the needs of many in ministry. And Gaius didn’t supply sparingly. John says Gaius supplied them in a manner worthy of the Gospel – he was generous.
There are some folks like Gaius that supply this ministry. Even with such awesome support, the opportunities often exceed the supplies on hand. So, the needs must be shared. And that brings me back to my question: How is the news of mission needs received?

It seems Gaius received the news of ministry needs as an invitation or opportunity. And that is as it should be. We each have the opportunity to do what we are capable of doing. Jesus saw the widow’s mites (pennies) and said her offering was the largest! It was what she could do.
And remember, our opportunities come from many places. Your church is an ongoing opportunity to be a vital part of ministry. So, take a lesson from Gaius. Always seize the moment and be a fellow worker in the Truth!
Another tool in God’s tool box!
Soli Deo Gloria!
