In Staff Meeting on Wednesday I shared an inspirational story and a meaningful maxim. I’ll share the same with you in this week’s Message About Purpose and Strategy. It was the story of William Carey, who served as a missionary in India for more than 40 years in the early 1800’s. He never went to college, or even high school, yet he was able to start the first Christian college in Asia. He established other schools, hospitals, a bank, a newspaper and a paper mill. He also planted churches and translated the Bible into six languages and parts of it into another twenty-nine other languages. Possibly his most famous saying was, “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.” I love this. It reminds us of the source of strength for such great accomplishments. God supplies the power, we simply step out in faith and aim high! Is a risk really all that risky with God’s promised presence always with us? Let’s follow William Carey’s motto: “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.”
