These famous words flowed well with the topic in week seven of our SOFM. I feel that it's important to take a look at those who have gone before us to see what has worked, and to see what has failed miserably. While there are many things that can be taken away from a look at the history of missions, to me one of the greatest is this: God has been calling people to the ends of the earth, and there have always been those who have heard that call and obeyed, regardless of the cost involved. Did they always do things perfect? Of course not, and we've learned a lot from the time of missions compounds and other interesting methods of reaching the lost. As someone who loves history in general, I especially love digging into the Moravians, Raymund Lull, Samuel Zwemer, and Adoniram Judson.
