I have other sheep that are not of this fold.

I must bring them also and they will listen to my voice, John 10, 16.

God has a people in every people group in the world.

He will call them through the gospel with creator power

What a power is in these words for overcoming discouragement

in the hard places of the frontiers.

The story of Peter Cameron Scott is a good illustration.

Born in Glasgow 1867, Scott became the founder

of the Africa Inland Mission.

But his beginnings in Africa were anything but auspicious.

His first trip to Africa ended in a severe attack

of malaria that sent him home.

He resolved to return after he recuperated.
