There is nothing worth living for unless it is worth dying for.

My grandmother lived a life devoted to Jesus, and today her talks have been made available in their original form.

So you too can be built up through the insights and mysteries God revealed to her throughout her ministry.

Now without further ado, here is Elizabeth Elliot.

Talk to a number of young people this evening very briefly but several of them

told me that they were headed for missions and I was thinking about years ago when I was visiting a certain theological

seminary not very far from where we lived.

It shall be nameless.

It was definitely not Gordon Conwell's theological seminary

but another one and they were talking about the search for a new what was the word in there, something like a new idea about missions or something.

And I really couldn't imagine what they might be going to speak about but in the question and answer period a

woman who was sitting just about one seat away from me she stood up and she

said well you know I don't think I've ever seen a

missionary in my life and I'm sure I've never been near anyone, any one of them. But she said, you know, they've

always puzzled me because missionaries are people that go all over the world to tell everybody that

everything they're doing is wrong. And she said I just I don't I don't like that

kind of missionary work.

And I thought, well, that's an interesting definition

of what missions do.

They go all over the world and tell everybody

that what they're doing is wrong.

What we have, of course, is a marvelous wonderful piece of news to give to them who are willing to listen.
