HOWEVER if I am needed I am a soldier...ready for duty...today I am not really needed for much...other than a pat on the shoulder, a kind word ....and of course typing for them as many do not have computes and I help them get Bible studies typed out...
But...41 years ago in a little pagan village I stood under a tree with old flannelgraph and told the life changing story of Jesus alone...I was the only christian...in that area.
The BIBLE says a wise woman builds her house...when I was single I did what I had to do...when I got married 37 years ago I turned the leadership of the work over to my husband. He did not mention or ask me to do it...I did it for to me that is a Bible principle. However we have worked side by side ...I respect my husband and I am intelligent enough to know the body cannot have 2 heads...I know my place even in ministry...

I salute you for your sacrifices. My point is that I Tim. is dealing w/ the congregation of believers, not witnessing to pagans about the Saviour.
Again, I honor you highly for your sacrifices [though we strongly disagree about
I Tim. 2 &
I Cor. 14] & believe that you have a great reward awaiting you.
Blessings.....................
