Imagine being told that learning a language could cost you your life. 🚫
In 1807, Robert Morrison faced exactly that. He traveled to China, lived in a hidden warehouse, and studied by candlelight in total secret.
For 7 long years, he saw absolutely zero results. No converts. No massive crowds. By the time he passed away, he only had about 10 converts to his name.
On paper? It looked like a failure.
In reality? He spent 12 years translating the entire Bible and creating the first Chinese - English dictionary, clearing the ground and building the bridge for generations to come. 🗺️
The lesson? Faithfulness isn’t about immediate stats or instant likes. It’s about obedience. If you feel like your progress is slow right now, keep going. You are planting seeds for a harvest you might not even see yet.
