"Is not this the fast that I have chosen," the Lord through his prophet declares, "to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?" Wherever the people of God are placed, in the crowded cities, in the villages, or among the country byways, there is a mission field, for which a responsibility is laid upon them by their Lord's commission.

”Nej, faste efter mit sind”, som Herren igennem sin profet erklærer ”er at løse gudløsheds lænker, at løsne ågets bånd, at slippe de kuede fri og sønderbryde hvert åg, at bryde dit brød til de sultne, bringe hjemløse stakler i hus, at du klæder den nøgne, du ser, ej nægter at hjælpe dine landsmænd.” Hvor Guds folk end er placeret, i tætbefolkede byer, i landsbyer eller ude på landets sideveje, så er der en missionsmark, som der er lagt en ansvar på, ved deres Herres missionsbefaling.
