What's wanted and most important ?

Much is now being said about evangelism; but before we get effective evangelism, we have to get effective evangelists. Evangelism is useless unless it is the work of one devoted to God, willing and glad to suffer all things for God, penetrated by the attractiveness of God. New machinery, adaptations and adjustments, are not the first need but more devoted, adoring, sacrificial souls. Evelyn Underhill, 'The Priest's Life of Prayer',1937

The above quote is taken from comtemporary spiritualities reflections.

It's more the soul wanted by God,devoted,sacrificial as said by Underhill,rather than the changing techniques emerged incessantly these days to meet vacant posts on various fields.Not just evangelists but missionaries these days too are becoming vague in both image and profile.Everyone willingly offer himself/herself surely will be accepted to go ahead,to try serving in different capacities.

It's good to rethink the whole matter,to refocus on the real important issues involved in such confusion.New age needs new thoughts in terms of recruitments.But
it's still the person that matters most.
