In this article, the author gets at some key issues that especially can help folks think through if they going to live for the Lord by staying in their home country.

“We miss out on the highest, fullest joys when we keep what we should give. This is true for the goers, those who risk their lives to take the gospel to unreached peoples. And this is true for the senders, those who gladly spend and are spent to support those who go.”

“If someone looked closely at your spending and giving, would they see that you’re at war? And if so, what would they say you’re fighting for? If you haven’t started supporting God’s work among the nations, what if you worked to identify one missionary, maybe through your local church, whom you could start prayerfully supporting today?”
