Trials and perplexities we have had without number, and yet through them all the Lord has brought us to this present day. From a couple of workers at first, God has graciously increased the number of labourers to about 100. From an income of a few hundred pounds per year to eight and ten thousand a year. From occupying one village in Algeria to having Stations scattered across all the countries of North Africa. From having no converts at all to having a few converts all along the line, some of whom have themselves developed into Christian workers. We borrow courage from our past experiences of God’s grace to the unworthy, but still more so from the unfailing promises of His word; and thus trusting in the God who has been our help in the past, we step out into the New Century to work on till Christ shall come, or till we are called to be with Him.
