Paul, Timothy, Apollos: All were missionaries spending their time spreading the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ. They were professional fishermen and professional shepherds-to use the two pictures the bible uses to describe the work of missionaries and of the church for that matter. The gospel needs to be spread to all and those who respond need support. They need encouragement. They need bases from which to work. They need people to be involved in their work.
Missions originated in the heart of God. It is God’s plan that the gospel be preached in all the world to all people. There are those today who fell that it is an impertinence to take the gospel to people who already have a religion of their own. They maintain that those people are worshipping God in their own way and must be left alone. They are iplying that all religions lead to the same God. But the Bible is clear on this matter, there is only one way to God and that is through faith in Jesus Christ. (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).
Do you have a heart for Missions? Do you care whether or not people hear of the only way of salvation in Jesus? Are you concerned that these missionaries are supported? Examine your heart today.

be a taboo subject but usually people don't discuss these issues. To the next! All the best!!
