We appreciate your prayers and financial support!

          18What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
          19because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.
          20I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

          21For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
          22But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.
          23I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
          24But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
