Quote of the Week

Our quote this week comes from Samuel Zwemer, a man nicknamed "The Apostle to Islam." I've always felt a sort of kinship to Zwemer, who was born in Vriesland, MI and graduated from Hope College, both of which are close to my childhood stomping grounds.  Through the years I have seen people who match this description and I pray that more are raised up.

"The great Pioneer Missionaries all had 'inverted homesickness,' this passion to call that country their home which was most in need of the Gospel. In this passion all other passions died; before this vision all other visions faded; this call drowned all other voices. They were the pioneers of the Kingdom, the forelopers of God, eager to cross the border-marches and discover new lands or win new empires" – Samuel Zwemer
