William Clarence Haas is the unsung heroes of the modern missionary endeavor, and he would have wanted it that way. The founder of our mission left us not only his legacy of ministry, but his letters to and from his early co-workers. From those letters, Steve Anderson put together a message to the mission family for our century celebration. This is the recording of that monologue, as Steve, in character and dress, spoke to the BMM mission family, reminding them of the excellencies of Christ and the wonder of being used of God as those who are willing to spend and be spent in the economy of eternity.
