And we must have humble faith that our intentional work will not be for nothing because of the power of the Holy Spirit working in our world. If someone has been truly obedient but seen no results yet, he need not be discouraged. Let him wait patiently and prayerfully for the Holy Spirit to complete the work he has begun as he continues to make real and specific and purposeful efforts to be obedient to the call to make more disciples. Let us not assume that those who have not had results yet are not really trying, but let’s continue to encourage them to never stop trying realizing that God will soon make their efforts successful if they are truly obeying. And if we see a success, let us not praise too highly the individual effort, but praise God without whose power and Spirit at work convicting the world of sin no effort to make a disciple would ever result in a disciple of Jesus (although they may make another type of disciple).

Thank you David for helping all of us keep the call clear in our minds.
