The joy of our work is not so much in our situation, the country or even the task,

But in meeting the missionaries and hearing; how with God, their vision was cast.

Listening to stories of hardship, disappointment, sickness and at times little fruit,

Mingled with testimonies of lives being touched, of God’s Word taking deep root.

Rewards of faithfulness; counting the cost, planting, and then watering new shoots.
