We must not be contented however with praying, without exerting ourselves in the use of means for the obtaining of those things we pray for.

...even on the low ground of common sense I seemed to be called to be a missionary. Is the kingdom a harvest field? Then I thought it reasonable that I should seek to work where the work was most abundant and the workers fewest.

Every Christian should live life with an open Bible and an open map.
