Individual Work

What is individual work? It is simply a telling others of our experience of Christ's love, so that they may share it. This does not call first for an expert knowledge of the contents of the Bible, or of theology, nor for skill in discussion and power in argument. It does call for unshaken, unshakable knowledge of what Jesus Christ has done for us, and for a deeply rooted purpose to share that knowledge with others.
It requires more faith and courage to say two words face to face with one single sinner, than from the pulpit to rebuke two or three thousand persons, ready to listen to everything, on conditions of forgetting all.
