Acts 20:28-31
Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as overseers, to shepherd the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.Men will rise up even from your own number and distort the truth to lure the disciples into following them.Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for three years I never stopped warning each one of you with tears.

1 Timothy 6 13-1 Timothy 6 17
In the presence of God, who gives life to all, and of Christ Jesus, who gave a good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge youto keep this command without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.God will bring this about in his own time. He is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords,who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see, to him be honor and eternal power. Amen.Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God, who richly provides us with all things to enjoy.

Luke 10:2-11
He told them,“ The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves.Don’t carry a money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals; don’t greet anyone along the road.Whatever house you enter, first say,‘ Peace to this household.’If a person of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Don’t move from house to house.When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you.Heal the sick who are there, and tell them,‘ The kingdom of God has come near you.’When you enter any town, and they don’t welcome you, go out into its streets and say,‘ We are wiping off even the dust of your town that clings to our feet as a witness against you. Know this for certain: The kingdom of God has come near.’

Luke 9:1-5
Summoning the Twelve, he gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.Then he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.“ Take nothing for the road,” he told them,“ no staff, no traveling bag, no bread, no money; and don’t take an extra shirt.Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there.If they do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”

2 Timothy 4 1-2 Timothy 4 6
I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and because of his appearing and his kingdom:Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage with great patience and teaching.For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear what they want to hear.They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths.But as for you, exercise self-control in everything, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time for my departure is close.
