Excerpt from The Link: April, 1943
By profession I am a soldier, and take pride in that fact; but I am prouder, infinitely prouder, to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; a father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentialities of death; the other embodies creation and life, and while the hordes of death are mighty the battalions of life are mightier still: It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle, but in the home repeating with him our simple, daily prayer, Our Father, who art in heaven.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book reveals the importance of missionary activity and Christian outreach in the global context, particularly in light of World War II. Prior to the war, Protestants in the United States and Canada dedicated millions to missionary efforts, with around 11,000 workers from North America in the field, supported by 100,000 local pastors and support staff. The book shows how these efforts, often overlooked amidst the larger conflict, fostered intercultural understanding, promoted scientific progress, and provided relief to those in need. The author suggests that the experiences of missionary workers and the communities they served offers a lens through which to understand the broader project of fostering peace and goodwill throughout the world.
