Chris.
With work! The early Believers in New Testament days, especially the ministering Believers, looked after themselves by taking jobs. It seems that they did this when there was need to do it. They were not 'bound' or 'restricted' to taking a job, they did it because it was practical to do it. Today, the Church should be trying to support their ministering Believers so that they are not 'restricted' by having to take a job.
