"Who would naturally prefer to leave the warmth and comfort of hearth and home and the love of the family circle to go after a lost sheep, whose cry we have faintly heard in the howling of the tempest? Yet such is the glory of the task that neither home ties nor home needs can hold back those who have caught the vision and the spirit of the Great Shepherd. Be-cause the lost ones are His sheep, and He has made us His shepherds and not His hirelings, we must bring them back."
Samuel Zwemer
