"I would not want to give the impression that everyone is called to expansive and immediately fruitful ministry. Some of us are called to situations where the work is slow and difficult. Even so, if we do not dream dreams and envisage what might be, it is unlikely we shall ever pray for them or work toward them. We shall spend our lives simply getting through each day's work as it comes up. How much better it is, wherever possible, to tie our immediate concerns to the larger possibilities of expanding ministry."
From a Call to Spiritual Reformation, p. 221
Amie read this to me yesterday, and it is great perspective for Ken and I as we share three weeks of life and ministry with the Dennys in the Czech Republic.
