Loving By Serving
“Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,” said Jesus,

THE LATE DAWSON TROTMAN, founder of The Navigators, was visiting Taiwan on one of his overseas trips. During the visit he hiked with a Taiwanese pastor back into one of the mountain villages to meet with some of the national Christians.
