It is said that David Livingstone’s made this statement in response to hearing of the spiritual needs in China.
“It is my desire to show my attachment to the cause of Him who died for me by devoting my life to His service.”
David Livingstone (1813-1873) as quoted by William Garden Blaikie in The Life of David Livingstone (London: John Murray, 1903) 12.
Like Barnabas and Paul sojourned together encouraging Christians around the ancient world, Chi-Chung Keung and I traveled from Hong Kong to Thailand to meet missionaries and church planters who have dedicated their lives in service to Christ in China. May God give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to discern how we might best serve and support them.
Halfway around the world my daughter, Sophie, is visiting Asbury College in Wilmore, KY, with my wife, Jenni, and sister-in-law, Joanna. Why consider a school like that? I am thankful that she desires to study creative writing and performing arts in service to Jesus Christ with the same zeal that Livingstone exhibited as he put his medical skills to work for God.
