USA – Only forty-nine left for me, dad – September 10, 2020

A young boy, the son of a missionary, had heard his father say to the native congregation that if each Christian in that particular city would win fifty to Jesus the entire city would be Christianized. Without reservation this twelve-year-old boy accepted his share of the responsibility. Every day he would pray for a boy friend of his who was a Hindu.

Radiant with happiness the lad watched the baptism, and said to his faith, “Only forty-nine left for me now, Dad.”
