Dear Friend,

Toot Would that I could make these words leap oft the page into your heart! I am SO excited. Expect Great Things from God, Attempt Great Things for God We Sn began ten years ago with this famous fine from William Carey ringing in our ears, 1 Now it is happening!

Even as I write these lines (in Pasadena California) a chorus of 10,000 evangelists from the very corners of the earth are singing at the top of their lungs in maybe 100 languages in Amsterdam, at Billy Graham's 2nd International Congress of Itinerant Evangelists!

If William Carey could have seen what our eyes are seeing! What DO we see?

Today, anyway, we see we have all heard about the largest meeting of evangelists in history, in the city of Amsterdam, (What does the "world" think of this meeting? Will they scorn the $25 million cost when that is just about the amount of cash Evangelicals in America spend every two days on pet food?)

What do YOU think about this meeting? Do you realize that hundreds of these men come from so far out in the woods that they may have never seen a flush toilet? Can you imagine how the Gospel GOT THERE in the first place? Do you realize HOW BIG AN OPERATION God is in to penetrate the world to that extent?

Do we yet comprehend just how easy, relatively, it will be it an army of 10,000 of these consecrated men is alert to the existence of 17,000 remaining people groups which have no witness internal to their group?

But when these men get back home from their staggering experience in Amsterdam, who will keep alive their 'mission interest in the remaining unreached peoples? Well, did you know that just a few days ago (at the every six years meeting of the World Evangelical Fellowship in Singapore) . woops, I am running out of space. I'll continue this in the special tour page supplement (pp 19 22) where we can all stand back and try to see what God is up to.
