who are your allies...

...those who are willing to support your mission?

...in the neighbourhood?

Who do I know who knows the people I need to know?

Your allies actually want to be in the foxhole with you. They don't bail with excuses...

Luke 10:5-7
“Whenever you enter someone’s home, first say, ‘May God’s peace be on this house.’

If those who live there are peaceful, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you.

Don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve their pay.
