There is a story about a pastor who worked for years to revive and grow a failing downtown church. After endless hours of work and effort, the church actually did begin to come to life. New members came, new ministries were born, and it seemed as if a miracle were taking place. Then the pastor was called to a new congregation. In a few years, after a succession of failed pastorates, the church closed. The pastor who had given so much of himself was devastated. It seemed that his work was "in vain."
