The Standard Oil Company was making preparations to establish itself in Indonesia. Company executives were seeking a manager for their Indonesian operations. They were informed that the man best qualified for the place was a certain missionary. The company approached the missionary in reference to his availability for the position. Their offer was large: $30,000 yearly. The missionary declined. Those seeking his service raised the offer. Still he declined. Finally they said, "Just name your salary. We'll pay it if the salary we have named isn't large enough."
"Oh," replied he, "the salary is big enough, but the job isn't big enough!"
We, as missionaries, have a BIG JOB! Thank you for your help with this BIG JOB!
