"It is ministering to souls who live in the midst of mountain grandeur, but who never lift their "eyes unto the hills" form whence their help might come; who enjoy God's placid lakes, tumbling streams and majestic waterfalls, but who have never drunk of the Water of Life; who shepherd the sheep on a thousand grassy hillsides, but who do not know the Good Shepherd; who reap the golden grain from the fertile plains, but who are starving for the Bread of Life." -Nicy Murphy 1959
