"Despair not for the future of the world. Out of its heart will yet come those who shall lift it up to a new level. Sauls are being trained in the bosom of the Sanhedrin; Luthers in the cloisters of the church; Abrahams under the shadow of great heathen temples. God knows where to find them. And, when the times are darkest, they shall lead forth a host of pilgrim spirits, numberless as the sand on the seashore; or as the stardust, lying thick through the illimitable expanse of space." F.B. Meyer
This quote is truly inspiring to those involved in missions. It made me think of the recent good reports of my friend and faithful laborers in the gospel, Douglas Hammett, who has shared some great blessings, as he goes seeking these kind of men, not in the biggest churches and most renowned seminaries in America, but in the far corners of places like Botswana, Zambia, Malawi and South Africa.
The fact is God uses those who hear and respond in obedience to His Word! Regardless of their "pedigree" before hand.
