" So many of us are localized in our outlook. We see only our own community, our own village or town, and we never see beyond. There are those who think only of their own church and have no interest in what others are doing. Then there are some who have a larger vision. They see an entire city or province and they are ready to give their money and to work for its evangelization. But they, too, are local in their outlook, for they never see beyond the boundaries of the city or province in which they live. Then there are those who have a still larger vision. They see an entire country and they are ready to work for its evangelization. But even they are local in their outlook, for they never see beyond the boundaries of the country in which they live. There are those, however, who have a still larger vision. They see a continent and they are ready to do all they can for the evangelization of their continent. Yet even they are local in their outlook for they never see beyond the boundaries of their continent. Then there are those who see an entire world. They see Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America and the islands of the seas. They have God’s vision and that is the vision He wants us to have, a world vision. "
