"I would thank God for putting me into the ministry anywhere. I thank Him still more for giving me a place in this great city. New York sits like a queen on her island throne. The wealth, the poverty, the good, the bad of the world are brought to her. New York, like a mighty reservoir, draws in brain and muscle from all parts of the country; and she sends out again streams to bless or curse mankind. There is no greater center of brainpower as seen in magazines, newspapers and books, on this continent than New York. It is a great thing to strike for God and His truth here, at the center of influence for this entire country. I feel the inspiration of this great city, I feel sometimes as if it would swallow me up -- as if I could not stem its tide of worldliness and excitement. But if there is much evil here, there is also much good. If it is the worst, it is also the best city on the continent. The largest liberality, the noblest manhood, and the most consecrated womanhood I have ever known I have seen here."   - Dr. Robert S. MacArthur

Only eternity will show what your prayers and support have accomplished in the lives of children in New York City.  Thank you and God bless you !  ~ Laura
