Your article reminded me of an excerpt I had pasted inside my Bible long ago:

 

"A team of five young pioneer missionaries whom the Lord had called to begin a mission in Rajasthan,

a north Indian state, had no money for train fare, let alone for food or rent.  Everyone discouraged

them and begged them to stay home.  But this was their answer:

 

"If we have no money to go by train, we will walk. (1,500 miles).  If one of us becomes sick and

dies on the way, we will bury him on the roadside, and the rest of us will continue on.  If only

one of us survives the journey and reaches Rajastan, and places only one gospel tract on the hot

desert sand of that state before he dies, we will have fufilled our mission, and we will have obeyed

our Lord". 

                                                                                                      From THE ROAD TO REALITY  byY.P. Yohannan

 

 

 

Perhaps these young men were inspired by another such team that had been in jail for preaching the Gospel. 

 They had been  released after a miracle and immediately set out on foot walking 100 miles to another city, 

preached for three weeks, until thrown out of there, kept going to another place, then another, then another

then another and kept "WANDERING" for the Lord until finally giving their lives.

 

 The leader of that group was a man named Paul.
