Our quote this week come from Robert Moffat, a pioneer missionary to South Africa in the early 1800s and the father-in-law of David Livingstone. This quote is a good reminder of the task remaining. While progress has been made in the 200 years since Moffat went to Africa, there are still over 3,000 people groups that are considered both unreached and unengaged, meaning no one is even working towards bringing them the gospel. It brings to mind the words of Jesus. "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
"In the vast plain to the north I have sometimes seen, in the morning sun, the smoke of a thousand villages where no missionary has ever been - Villages whose people are without Christ, without God, and without a hope in the world." Robert Moffat
