Ever felt that you were working and working on something and then one day everything simply stops and you know it was much ado about nothing. Perhaps a book you were writing, investing time into a project, trying to establish an NGO. Nothing will come from it. It was a waste of time. Maybe the fillowing story will encourage you as it encouraged me.
I visited a country where Christian missionaries were forced to leave more than forty years ago and are still not allowed. When the missionaries left, a few struggling young leaders were in place. The government and the culture were highly anti-Christian. Many of these leaders gave up. But one young man committed himself to making a difference. In the forty-plus years since he was left on his own, he and his team have started more than three thousand churches, mostly underground. (David Watson).
