During Biblical times, people took in the Holy men, Prophets, Disciples providing shelter and food. This doesn't seem necessary nowadays because our Pastors aren't nomadic anymore, but surely there is something that we, as the flock, can do for our Shepherds that will show them our appreciation, love, and support. Pray about it.
One day Elisha went on to Shunem, where a wealthy woman lived, who urged him to eat some food. So whenever he passed that way, he would turn in there to eat food. And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I know that this is a holy man of God who is continually passing our way. Let us make a small room on the roof with walls and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so that whenever he comes to us, he can go in there.”
2 Kings 4:8-10 ESV
