In Their Own Words

“I dreamt I was back in the mission field, in the city of London. I was trying to find my way to a meeting, but there were many obstacles in my path. I struggled for what seemed a long time, and finally, I saw a light, which guided me to the place I was seeking. When I awoke, I felt a peace and an assurance that my labors had not been in vain. — Millennial Star 79:442”
