A touch of humor
A Baptist missionary was walking in Africa when he heard the ominous padding of a lion behind him. "Oh Lord," prayed the missionary, "Grant in Thy goodness that the lion walking behind me is a good Christian lion." And then, in the silence that followed, the missionary heard the lion praying too: "Oh Lord," he prayed, "I thank Thee for the food which I am about to receive."
Thoughts to ponder. . .
"Do all the Good you can
In all the Ways you can
As Long as ever you can
By all the Means you can
In all the Places you can."
~ John Wesley
You have heard my message, and it's been confirmed by many witnesses. Entrust this message to faithful individuals who will be competent to teach others. 2 Timothy 2:2
The Missionary Heart:
Cares more than some think is wise
Risks more than some think is safe
Dreams more than some think is practical
Expects more than some think is possible.
~ Poem written by martyred missionary Karen Watson
