When missionary Robert Morrison arrived in China in 1807, there wasn't a single Christian. Morrison labored for twenty-six years, and saw fewer than twenty converts.
Most would consider such results a failure. Many might wonder if Morrison had indeed "missed God." Maybe he just didn't belong there. Maybe he was outside of God's will for his life.
But over that twenty-six years he became fluent in the Chinese language and undertook to translate the Scriptures into the native tongue. It became his life's work.
While he may not have seen the results of his labor, we certainly can. Today, even by the conservative estimates of the Chinese government, there are forty million Christians in China.
Just keep doing what God has assigned to you. Let Him look after the results.
