Synergos comes from the Greek word which means “fellow laborer.” Paul used this word often to refer to those who helped him take the Gospel throughout the ancient world. And your New Testament is full of these names, which are often skipped over. Names like Ephaphroditus, Junia, Phoebe, and others. Had it not been for these faithful fellow laborers, Paul simply could not have accomplished the mission Christ set for him. And yet, we do not know much about them. But God does. It is a powerful reminder that to fulfill the Great Commission, it takes the entire body of Christ. For every Paul, there are countless people behind him supporting his ministry.

Synergos is inspired by the fellow laborers of the early church—both those who are known to us through Scripture, and those whose contributions are known only to God—while challenging those in our time to carry on their tradition of co-laboring for the Gospel.
