Episode notes
Global Needs Multiply Our Choices

- Paul’s collection shows early Christians responding across ethnic and geographic lines, a pattern we still emulate today.
Pray And Vet Before You Give
- Pray and ask God for wisdom when deciding who to give to.
- Prioritize relationships and trustworthiness in people or organizations before sending funds.
Prioritize Those Nearest First
