This morning I came across a page from John Wesley's diary while reading this book for class. Anyone can make excuses. And anyone can give up. But there's something to be said for a little persistence:) And if you've ever read through Paul's missionary journeys (Acts 13-21), this might sound familiar.
Sunday Morning, May 5. Preached in St. Ann's. Was asked not to come back anymore.
Sunday p.m., May 5. Preached at St. John's. Deacons said "Get out and stay out."
Sunday a.m., May 12. Preached at St. Jude's. Can't go back there either.
Sunday p.m., May 12. Preached at St. George's. Kicked out again.
Sunday a.m., May 19. Preached at St. somebody else's. Deacons called special meeting and said I couldn't return.
Sunday p.m., May 19. Preached on the street. Kicked off the street.
Sunday a.m., May 26. Preached in meadow, chased out of meadow as bull was turned loose during the service.
Sunday a.m., June 2. Preached out at the edge of town, kicked off the highway.
Sunday p.m., June 2, afternoon service. Preached in a pasture, 10,000 people came to hear me.
That is awesome!!!
