" Give up your small ambitions... "
The words of
Francis Xavier (1506-1542), missionary to India and Japan who is said to have won more to Christ than anyone since the
Apostle Paul: "Tell the students to give up their small ambitions, come east, and preach the gospel."
For The Sake of the Call, Steven Curtis Chapman
