hold the ropes



As a missionary, there is no story as singularly inspiring for me than the words of Andrew Fuller concerning his friend and fellow laborer, William Carey:

“We saw there was a gold mine in India, but it seemed almost as deep as the center of the earth. Who will venture to explore it? “I will go down.”, said Mr.Carey to his brethren, “but remember that you must hold the ropes.” We solemnly engaged to do so; nor while we live, shall we desert him.”

The great commission was given to the Church. Every member of the body is involved. Some pray, some give, some go. We need you to hold the ropes. We see this throughout the New Testament. Paul was sent out by the church in Antioch (Acts 13:2-3), supported financially by the church in Philippi (Phil 4:13) and prayed for by the church in Thessalonica ( 2Thes 3:1). 

ROPE-HOLDING SUPPORT TEAMS

“We can reach our world, if we will. The greatest lack today is not people or funds.
The greatest need is prayer.”
[Wesley Duewel, head of OMS International]
# Receive short, frequent prayer updates with more intimate details about our family and ministry.
# Commit to pray for these requests. 
Prayer is the most important thing, and we would not be able to have an efficient ministry in the front line without consistent prayer support.

  1. Hi Guys,
    Last week did a presentation at our church and used the Pray Encourage Give idea for the way they could support our ministry. We actually shortened it to PEG and as we get partners we are putting pegs into a board as a visual aid!
    God bless,
