Ministry can be a long, lonely road if we try to do it by ourselves. I think “going solo” should be the exception rather than the rule. We can see in Paul’s description of Epaphroditus, such a close bond between these ministry partners—“brother”, “fellow worker”, and “fellow soldier”. We can sense Paul’s relief at Epaphroditus’ recovery from near death and joy at working together with him. Having a ministry partner or team to lean on can provide support, encouragement, strength, courage, and accountability. Make a commitment today to doing ministry together rather than alone.
