Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.This is one of the first statements to support missionaries in their work. While we are all commanded to share the gospel in some way (a task I am quite delinquent in), there are some among us that are called to do so "full-time." Today we call these people missionaries or pastors or preachers.
My parents are part of this calling, though it didn't occur until just before I left home. And not everyone preaches to unbelievers directly; my parents work for a missions organization that supports locals using radio to reach others. For those of us who don't have that calling ourselves, we are to help those who do in whatever ways possible, as there are far too many believers who don't.
