In 1991, I fell and broke my wrist. I was single, self-employed, and unable to work for 6 weeks. The people in my church recognized my situation and helped to meet my need. I was able to pay all my bills; I had what I needed and no more. There have been other situations where someone else had a need that I was able to assist with. This is an important part of being a community of believers—to worship together, study and pray together, and to meet each other’s needs as they arise. Sometimes the needs will be in our local church and sometimes they will be across the world. But we need to be ready and willing to help when they come to our attention.
