His determination and dedication are inspiring and helpful. 

What can we learn from him?
1. To Serve the Lord with Zeal and determination. (Rom. 12:6-8) how the Lord has gifted you. 
2. Be organised - Francis Asbury ordained over 4000 ministers to do the work in his stead. We ought to be making and equiping disciples for works of service. 
3. let "I Preached..." be a daily journal entry as you speak the Word of God into the lives of others. 
4. Get in the Saddle and go to the lost and hurting world around you...this may mean some saddle sores.
