William Carey once said, “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.” And you know, his life was truly an example of this saying. He began his life as a hardworking shoemaker. But during his days crafting shoes, he read the journals of explorers and studied theology. Through his studies, God called him to go to India to reach his world. Carey would change history as an evangelist and a Bible translator. A man, who many may have considered quite ordinary, accomplished extraordinary things for God. And he did it by simple faith and obedience to the command of Jesus Christ in the Bible.

In the book of Hebrews we read about all that men and women of God have accomplished because of faith. We read that by faith, these great saints, “conquered kingdoms, administered justice… shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword…” The heroes of the faith we read about in the book of Hebrews are an inspiration for all of us trying to reach our world. And you know, I believe that list of heroes is always growing and you could be next. As you expect great things from God, and step out in faith, you will reach your world.
