Excerpt from Our Church Abroad

It is a sacred matter to write or read the story of the acts of the Holy Spirit through consecrated lives. The footprints of God are clearly seen as we trace the missionary achievements of the past.

The purpose of this book is to set forth the providential preparation of the churches of America for a world-wide missionary propaganda, and to introduce to our homes and churches the growing native churches in our five foreign fields.

Comparatively little is here said about individual missionaries, but much emphasis is given to the fruitage and glory of their work as seen in the activities and victories of the native Christians.

There is a growing desire for an answer to such questions as: Where can I find a brief statement of the beginnings and growth of our work abroad? What progress has been made in establishing a native church? What are the conditions surrounding the native Christians? Are the churches becoming self-supporting, and are they being taught to win souls and to extend the gospel privileges to their own countrymen? What agencies have been established to train native leaders? How can the churches of America co-operate more effectively with our churches abroad? The answers to these and other questions will be found in the chapters of this little book.

I am greatly indebted to missionaries and others for valuable material and hearty co-operation; and to my wife, more than to all others combined, for inspiration and enriching suggestions.
