The scripture that drives him to preach and teach the gospel comes from Jeremiah 8: 20-22, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved!” For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt. I am mourning; Astonishment has taken hold of me. Is there no balm in Gilead, Is there no physician there? Why then is there no recovery for the health of the daughter of my people? (NKJV)”
