It is said that Norway, with a total population of three millions, which is not nearly as large as the city of Chicago alone, has 550 foreign missionaries.
Since the World War, Norway has been free from much of the
turmoil which has so disrupted the other nations of the earth. Of course some
will tell us that this is because Norway is so situated geographically as not
to be in the line of conflict.
With all due regard to this reason, we are of the opinion
that God has blessed Norway spiritually & governmentally to a great extent
because of the interest which the people of the nation have in the Gospel.
Certainly 550 missionaries from a small country which has
never been known especially for its wealth is a record worthy of commendation

Jesus drew near and said to them, “I have been given all
authority in heaven and on earth. Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make
them my disciples... And I will be with you always, to the end of the age.”
(Mat 28:18-20 GNT)
Moses replied, “If you do not go with us, don't make us leave this place. How will anyone know that you are pleased with your people and with me if you do not go with us? Your presence with us will distinguish us from any other people on earth.” (Exo 33:15-16 GNT).
