“I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you:…And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you;..” – 2 Cor 12:14-15

We follow Paul’s grace pattern in receiving gifts for our ministry.  Paul never asked for money for himself, so that the gospel would not be  hindered

 (1 Cor 9:12). So, neither do we.

He wanted gifts to be the product of grace working in the giver.
