Like the apostle Paul, they must deal with ‘ dangers from rivers and highwaymen, dangers in the wilderness, ’ and personal discomforts as well as anxiety for the congregations they serve. ​ — 2 Corinthians 11: 26 - 28.
Pauluse sarnaselt on nad ’ hädaohus jõgedel, mõrtsukate käes, kõrbes ’, peavad toime tulema üsna ebamugavates oludes ja lisaks muretsema koguduse pärast, kus nad teenivad.
