Paul turns from the gospel to sharing his future plans with the Roman Christians. He wants to visit them on the way to Spain and to be helped by them in getting to Spain and being able to do mission work there. 

Paul needed the Romans to partner with him in missions. He needed financial support, practical help, and perhaps, a fellow traveler or two from the church to join him.

Missionaries and missions need partners today. Will you partner with a missionary or mission to further the gospel in our time?
