God Will Always Find Men For His Work, and He Will Find Them at the Right Time
Let’s take these words to heart and trust that he will supply what the church needs. Let’s also actively participate in the work of identifying and preparing future pastors.

Spurgeon’s evening entry for December 5 is a timely message as we wrestle with questions about the supply of future pastors.
“God will always find men for His work, and He will find them at the right time…
You need not fret concerning the weakness of the church of God at any moment; there may be growing up in obscurity the valiant reformer who will shake the nations…
The Lord knows where to find His servants. He has in ambush a multitude of mighty men, and at His word they shall start up to the battle; ‘for the battle is the Lord’s,’ and He shall get to Himself the victory.
Let us abide faithful to Christ, and He, in the right time, will raise up for us a defence, whether it be in the day of our personal need, or in the season of peril to His Church.”

The big issue is not in finding men, but rather retaining men. I believe forty percent of men who enter the ministry will be out by the end of five years.
