Tennessee Nashville Mission

A Vision of the South

"'Make no small plans, they have no magic to stir men's souls.' This is the Vision I have for the South. I believe that one day the South will baptize more people into the church than all other English-speaking missions in the World together.

There are great hosts of marvelous Baptists, members of the Church of Christ, Methodists, and Catholics, who are honorable people and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and love him.

As they see their church veering off to the right or to the left of those basic teachings, they will begin to search for truth, and as pivitol teachers come into the church and have influence, we will see the time when we will baptize hundreds, and thousands, tens-of-thousands, in your day you will see a million members of the church in the South. There will be Temples plural in the South States. What a great call you have to serve with these marvelous people. The missionaries love the South. We are making great strides and expect to continue."
