Emphasis Preaching Journal

Two missionaries, commissioned to organize a new church in a South American country, visited, preached, and prayed with the poor people of the region for a year, sleeping in thatched-roof huts on straw mats laid upon clean, dirt-packed floors, and giving thanks for the constant diet of rice, beans, and potatoes. They assisted the people in their fields of labor, nurtured their children, and cried with the sick and dying.
