When I was younger I was much inspired by those intrepid missionaries who, like Jim Elliott, could say and live out the phrase: ‘He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.’
Biographies of missionaries like James Hudson Taylor and James Fraser and books by Jackie Pullinger and Brother Andrew undermined my complacent way of living. I was challenged to commit my life to Jesus’ mission by examples of these children of God.
