Scripture Reading:

2 Corinthians 9:1-5

"Now concerning the ministry to the saints, it is unnecessary for me to write to you.  For I know your eagerness, and I brag about you to the Macedonians:  Achaia has been prepared since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them.  But I sent the brothers so our boasting about you in the matter would not prove empty, and so you would be prepared just as I said.  For if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, not to mention you, would be embarrassed in that situation.  Therefore I considered it necessary to urge the brothers to go on ahead to you and arrange in advance the generous gift you promised, so that it will be ready as a gift and not as an extortion."

Discussion Points:

1.  Did you ever get lost as a child?  How did you feel?  Did you feel alone?  

2.  In this passage, Paul was linking Christians in one area with needy Christians in another area, so they wouldn't feel alone. 

    

                -  How can we make the Quechua Christians not feel alone?   

     

                -  How can we keep our chain strong?
