The minister at Barvas, the Reverend James Murray Mackay, had been led to write to Duncan through the prayers of his congregation, and in particular two elderly sisters named Peggy and Christine Smith who had received the God-given assurance that Duncan would be the instrument that God would use to fulfill His purposes on the island. Duncan was quite unaware of these things and he intended to stay in Lewis for just ten days and then take a rest from his mission work. However, despite his tiredness, he immediately recognised the feeling of spiritual expectation amongst the people who had invited him to Barvas, and after the preaching service on the second evening he was there, the congregation lingered outside the church and were joined by others who had not attended the meeting. At that moment, the voice of a young man was heard praying aloud inside the church, and many were moved to join him as a sense of deep conviction came over the crowd. The church was soon filled with people call

Tozer said of Ravenhill:     "To such men as this, the church owes a debt too heavy to pay. The curious thing is that she seldom tries to pay him while he lives.

The Romance of Missionary Heroism by John C Lambert (1857-1917)     The title page gives this book the subtitle, "True stories of the intrepid bravery and stirring adventures of missionaries with uncivilized man, wild beasts, and the forces of nature in all parts of the world." The thrilling accounts in this collection include stories of Jacob Chamberlain's medical ministry in India, the dangers faced by Alexander Mackay in Uganda, James Chalmers' work among the headhunters of New Guinea, John Paton's mission to the South Sea cannibals, and the Hawaiian queen Kapiolani's challenge to the gods of the volcano. "Romantic" in the sense that these brave missionaries faced the unknown, but never "romanticized" -- all sacrificed home and luxury, and many suffered the loss of family, fortune, and even their lives.

Mark 5:2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet.

Octavius Winslow - The Golden Key, The Golden Thread! Octavius Winslow 1808-78 Mary and Thomas Winslow went on to live in England and Octavius was born in Pentonville, then a village near London, on August 1, 1808. He was the tenth of 13 children. His name seems to have been given because he was then the eighth surviving child. Octavius's father was from a wealthy family but by 1815, following his retirement from the army, he suffered ill-health and the loss of his fortune due to one of several such national financial disasters that occurred in this period. A decision was made to move to America, but before Mr Winslow could join his wife and children in New York, he died. At the same time, their youngest child died too. Widowed at 40, responsible for a large family and scarcely settled in America, Mrs Winslow's entire life was turned upside down. Worst of all, spiritual darkness and despondency overwhelmed her for some months. Octavius was seven years old. They were a deeply re
