Romans 15:21: But as it is written: “To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand.”
“To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand” seems to be Paul’s life verse as a missionary. It is a quotation of Isaiah 52:15. Paul was thrilled to go and preach the gospel to those who were spiritually blind. After Paul had preached, some brother would say, “I understand, brother Paul. I will accept Christ as my Savior.” My friend, there is no thrill equal to presenting Christ and having people turn to Him. 1

- Would you be willing to disciple another new believer for six months on a weekly basis?
Prayer
Lord, help me bring the gospel to the lost.
