A woman once wrote Gipsy Smith after an evangelistic campaign to tell him she had been converted as a result of one of his messages.
She said, "I believe the Lord wants me to preach the Gospel, Brother Smith, but the trouble is that I have 12 children to raise! What shall I do?
She received this letter in reply, "My dear lady, I am happy to hear that you have been saved and feel called to preach, but I am even more delighted to know that God has already provided you with a congregation of 12!"
