Where there is a Will there is a Way

He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Luke 10:2

In those days The Holiness Church had four or five tents in the field every year.  These tents were put in the hands of reliable persons to hold meetings during the summer wherever the call came, or the way opened.  It was the most successful way of reaching the people and winning souls.

The one in charge of the tent would get some workers to go along and live in small tents, doing their own cooking, and looking to the Lord for their support.  At times the faith of the workers was tried, but their faith was more precious than gold.  People would bring provisions without being asked.  No such victory could be had in any other way.

At the close of one such camp-meeting, at which some 75 to 100 were reclaimed, converted or sanctified, and some 50 were healed of most all manner of diseases, the anointed of the Lord broke camp and started out to pitch tabernacles and tents for four other camp-meetings and pushed the battle in churches and everywhere to press the battle for God and souls.
