Consideration for those Struggling with DifficultiesFor years a lack of wisdom has been shown in dealing with men who take up and carry forward the Lord’s work in difficult places. Often these men labor far beyond their strength. They have little money to invest for the advancement of the work, and they are obliged to sacrifice in order to carry the work forward. They work for small wages and practice the strictest economy. They make appeals to the people for means, and they themselves set an example of liberality. They give God the praise for what is done, realizing that He is the Author and the Finisher of their faith, and that it is by His power that they are enabled to make progress. {7T 277.1}

(277) [Der har i årevis været udvist en mangel på klogskab i forholdet til mænd som begynder i Herrens gerning og udfører den på vanskelige steder. Disse mænd arbejder ofte langt over evne. De har kun få penge at bruge til gerningens fremme og de tvinges til store ofre for at kunne fremskynde virksomheden. De arbejder for en ringe løn og øver den strengeste sparsommelighed. De henvender sig ikke til folket for at få midler, mens de selv er et eksempel på gavmildhed. De giver Gud æren for det som bliver udrettet, idet de forstår at han er troens Ophavsmand og Fuldender og at det er ved hans kraft de er i stand til at gøre fremgang.
