Holding the Rope
By Last Sunday Humberto Perez, one of the church planters that our congretation has sent out, thanked the congregation for "holding the rope" for him as he worked among Spanish speakers in the next town over.The reference was lost on me, so I followed up Humberto afterward. He told me that the phrase originated with WIlliam Carey and Andrew Fuller. Michael Haykin explains more in his "A DULL FLINT": ANDREW FULLER— ROPE-HOLDER, CRITIC OF HYPER-CALVINISM & MISSIONARY PIONEER.In fact, when Carey went to India, Fuller later said it was as if Carey had found a rich gold mine. Carey himself was more than willing to descend into the mine, but would Fuller and his other friends hold the rope that lowered him down? Fuller and the others in England vowed to hold the rope until they quit this earthly scene. Whenever God has done a great work in the history of the church it has always been through a team of men and women. (italics mine)
