Viewpoints on raising support

Why do I need support?

• Well, I need to pay rent and other important bills.

Why can't I get a 'real job'?

• Classes + Ministering to the Lord by night in the prayer room + Church services/Ministry times = 40 hours a week, sounds like a full time job to me!

Do you have any Biblical proof of raising support?

• YES:
