There is a beautiful verse found in Zechariah 4:6 that is inlaid in a strange, yet beautiful picture of encouragement that stands as a reminder to God's people that no matter the obstacles that we face either from within or from without, that God has promised to supply by His Spirit all our need so that we, as God's people, are enabled to finish the work that God has called us to do.  For it is, "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."

Mission Takes A Team!

Excerpts from the life of William Carey, "The Father of Modern Missions," has many implications and applications still today. But the overriding 'take-away' is the pioneer missionary model of governing structure between the missionary board and the missionary staff which results in a unified team.

As William Carey stated before he sailed to India in the late 1700's, "I will go down and descend into the deep mine if you will hold the rope." The rope is a three-fold cord that is not easily broken resulting in a unified prayer team, a unified leadership team, and a unified ministry team.

William Carey's 'model in missions' is still the blue-print still today, for great unity results in great extended ministry done for the glory of God!

The answer: Anything that God needs to do to accomplish His work of supreme dependance in our lives in the worship and praise of only Him! In God's Word, we see this in 2 Chronicles 20.
