A man of God may go somewhere and not see any fruit of his labours, but then leave.
Some other man may come after him and build a great work.

I knew that someone would make the "Whole Gospel to the Whole World" statement.... - Matthew 28:18-20 speaks that we need to "Go ye therefore..."
- Acts 1:8 speaks about how that we will be witnesses to "...the uttermost part of the earth"
they are both statements that Christ gave the entire Church.... so why aren't there churches of truth in every city, town and village??? Because people choose not to go, thus those obedient to the Great Commission are not in as great of a number as it should be.... so can it be that God picks and chooses how to use His willing vessels, placing them in strategic places/times which best suite His will???
