Every movement begins with dreamers.
Not the kind who sit around imagining possibilities, but the kind who are willing to risk embarrassment, failure, and misunderstanding because they believe something is possible that does not yet exist.
The early leaders of CVM were not celebrities. Most came from small towns, farming communities, and ordinary churches. They grew up close to the land, close to animals, and close to people. Long before they understood veterinary missions, God was preparing them for it! Looking back, what seemed ordinary was anything but. The farm chores, the local veterinarian conversations, and the missionary speaker passing through town; each became part of a story God was quietly writing. Perhaps that is how He often works, the seeds of tomorrow’s calling are frequently hidden in yesterday’s ordinary moments.
Scripture reminds us: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” — Ephesians 2:10
Friends, never underestimate what God is preparing through ordinary days.
