Go Ye Into All the World – Video by Oswald J Smith
Oswald J Smith was a Canadian pastor and evangelist who lived from 1889 until 1986. At an early age, he desired to be a missionary. However, he was turned down by mission agencies due to poor health, which plagued him his entire life.
Undeterred by his inability to be a missionary, he did all he could to raise up missionaries and send them out. Through his ministry, hundreds surrendered to go to the mission field. In addition, he helped to raise as much as $14,000,000 for the cause of world missions.
In the following video, you hear some of Dr. Smith’s passion for world evangelism. May God stir our hearts for world evangelism, which is truly the heartbeat of God.
