And you Philippians know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone. For even in Thessalonica you sent gifts for my need several times.

Philippians 4:15-16 CSB

Paul's crew at Philipi were the only ones who supported him, at least for a significant period. They didn't know that and Paul is commending them and thanking them here. 

Ever been prompted to give?

To send someone a word of encouragement?

To pray for someone?

To connect and check in?

Do it, because you might be the only one. 

Paul was high profile, yet the people at Philipi were his only support. 

That could be us, could be you.

Maybe it's a pastor, ministry leader, friend, someone you barely know, missionary, random person in the church band or person who does the tech stuff or cleans, or someone in your street, or even in your house, if you're prompted to give, encourage, connect, or check in, do it.
