In Acts 9 we find Paul preaching the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The preaching of the truth strengthened Paul but angered the religious crowd who waited at the gate of the city to catch Paul and stone him. The Christian brethren came together and supported Paul, lowering him in a basket over the walls of the city to escape for his life. With this reference we can apply the truth to the church holding the ropes for missionaries.
You either need to be holding onto the rope, or you need to be in the basket.
Don’t Let Go of…

For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may about to your account. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. – Philippians 4:16-17
