The lord of the harvest has promised to be with his missionary servants till the end of the age (Matt.28.20). problems will increase, difficulties will always be around, costs will soar, but the Mission will go on. The mandate will never be rescinded nor will the mission be aborted; in God's time, the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the lord, as the waters cover the seas (Heb.2:14) On one occasion during a particularly difficult period Hudson Taylor was asked, what he thought about the future. He replied, "The future is as bright as the promise of God". This is still true, so let's stand in the promise of God and march forward by faith and not by sight.
