Philemon was one who used his possessions to help others. We can read about this man in the short letter written to him by the apostle Paul.
“Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker…and to the church in your house” (Philemon 1-2).
“At the same time also prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given to you” (Philemon 22).
