“The greatest want of the world is the want of men,—men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin by its right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.” Education, 57.

Lelsotet, Kenya had no Seventh-day Adventists until Bible worker John came to the area. Through prayer, perseverance and exhausting labor, God has given John a “door of opportunity” to win many souls to His Kingdom. John started his work the same as many others have done, by walking door-to-door with tracts and Bible studies. In short order, he started Bible studies with five individuals. In time, they all gave their hearts to Jesus and were baptized. Banding together, this small group of dedicated believers knelt before the Lord and petitioned Him to work out the details of their attack on the kingdom of darkness. They wanted others to share in the peace and blessings of the Lord!

Having his feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace and armed with the sword of the Spirit, John set out door-to-door again. This time, so many families opened their doors and invited him to conduct Bible studies that he soon had more appointments than he could handle. Every evening, he studied the Bible with people late into the night.
