The Lord abhors your selfish practices, and yet His hand is stretched out still. I urge you for your soul’s sake to hear my plea now for those who are missionaries in foreign countries, whose hands are tied by your ways. Satan has been working with all his powers of deception to bring matters to that pass where the way will be hedged up for want of means in the treasury. {TM 398.2}

Herren afskyer jeres selviske fremgangsmåder, og dog er hans hånd stadig strakt ud. Jeg beder jer indtrængende for jeres sjæls skyld at høre min bøn, for dem som er missionærer i udlandet, hvis hænder er bundet af jeres handlemåder. Satan har arbejdet med alle hans bedragende kræfter for at bringe sagerne derhen hvor vejen er så vanskelig for der mangler midler i pengekassen.
