HOW OFTEN DO YOU PRAY THAT GOD WILL SEND OUT MORE MISSIONARIES? 16 —frequently, 211—seldom, 58—nev er, 54—undecided; Id. HAVE YOU EVER PRAYED THAT GOD WILL SEND YOU OUT AS A MISSION ARY WITH A HOME OR FOR EIGN SOCIETY? 175—no, 1 5 3 - yes, 11—undecided. Many young people don’t think that Matthew 9:38 applies to themselves in a 'per sonal way; 11. HAVE YOU EVER CONS IDERED BECOMING A HOME OR FOREIGN MISSION ARY? 110—no, 217—yes, 12—unde cided.

ARE YOU WILL ING TO BE A MISIONARY IF THE LORD WANTS YOU? 19—no, 278—yes, 42—undecided. Praise the Lord that they are willing! That’s the first step. But what a lot of will ing ones there are who never get to the field! 13. HAVE YOU EVER RAISED YOUR HAND OR COME FORWARD DURING A MISSION ARY SERV I CE TO INDICATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO BE A MISSIONARY? 172—no, 161—yes, 6—undecided. In our church serv ices, we like to give people a chance to give some visible evidence of their decision for Christ, but we do not often give a call to come forward for missionary service. I believe pastors ought periodically to ask for definite commitments for missionary service, or else ask a missionary to do so. 14. IF YOU DID, HOW LONG AGO WAS IT? Very few could remember, but those that did indicated it was in the last five years. 15. IF YOU REMEMBER, WHO WAS THE SPEAKER? Here again, few re membered unless it was very recent ly.

If this holds true in our churches generally, what a vast number of recruits we would have if we could get them to follow through! 17. WHAT FIELD DID YOU FEEL CALLED TO, IF ANY? Most indicated no special field. Of the few who indicated one, it was generally a foreign, rather than a home field. 18. DO YOU STILL
