"I cried out to Thee, O Lord; I said Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." (Psalm 142:5, NASB, 1977 ed.)

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
