The important thing in this verse is ".....a vision appeared to Paul in the night....", Firstly for Christians there needs to be a radical shift of focus from the outward to the inward. Christians must begin to practice spiritual disciplines of fasting and praying that they would recieve specific assignements through dreams and visions in this hour to hear the 'Macedonian' call. If God calls then He will make all provisions for one to go. 'All provisions' also includes money - that means if one feels he has recd a 'Macedonian call' let him not stand up in his church and ask for money toward this call . Because God will provide him even if he never mentions it to anyone - and then when God does provide miraculously he will know without a shadow of doubt , that the call given him is from God and will be incased with all His power and authority. Till then let a man continue to be faithful in small things - let him through fasting and praying and weeping intercede for sinners - laying himself before the Lord. Let him begin to deny himself ,and take up his cross and follow Christ. God who sees you from heaven doing these things in secret will reward you richly in public.

Similarly, knowing the doom that awaits them, the souls of numerous people going to hell are praying the Christians to come over and help deliver them from the bondage of sin.
