“The challenge of the unoccupied fields of the world is one to great faith and, the to great sacrifice. Our willingness to sacrifice for an enterprise is always in proportion to our faith in that enterprise. Faith has the genius of transforming the barely possible into actuality. Once men are dominated by the conviction that a thing must be done, they will stop at nothing until it is accomplished…. Opposition is a stimulus to greater activity….Does it really matter how many the or how much money we spend in opening closed doors, and in occupying the different fields, if we really believe that missions are warfare and that the King’s glory is at stake? ….The unoccupied fields of the world must have their Calvary before they can have their Pentecost. …. The unoccupied fields of the world await those who are willing to be lonely for the sake of Christ.”
