His grave would become the steppingstone for the Worldwide Evangelization Crusade, which spread gospel seeds all across Africa, Asia, and South America.
Listen to the reward Studd was living for, as expressed in some of the last words he wrote before he died:

This can be accomplished only by a red-hot, unconventional, unfettered devoti ...
