so weak, give up.' But we learned, mainly through Rees
Howells, to change our whole attitude and the Lord told us not to give up. The Lord talked to us about going to the world and we laughed. Here we were two missionaries at home, thirty-five starving missionaries on the field and the Lord is speaking to us about going to the world! How does anything get done? By faith of course! Faith is the ability, inspired by the Spirit, to believe something offered to you. It isn’t I doing it, it is Him doing it".

W.E.C. grew from one mission field with 35 workers to a worldwide mission operating in over 40 fields with thousands of workers from around the world, all living according to the principle that all needs will be supplied by God with no appeals to man. The mission continues to this day under the name of Worldwide Evangelization for Christ.

Norman explains what happened when C.T. Studd died: "When C.T. Studd died in 1931 we were in a helpless condition. That month we had thirty-five missionaries and we had one pound a week for that month. That was all we had! People said to us, 'You’d better give up. Your founder is dead, the mission is

Africans. While there he translated the New Testament into Bangala. He was also struck by the words of Galatians 2:20: "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but

Before finishing his studies at
Cambridge Grubb met Pauline Studd and became engaged to her. During their engagement, however, a dispute arose between them regarding Norman telling her that he loved God more than he loved her. The disagreement almost resulted in Pauline calling off the wedding.
406:
Despite having a
Christian upbringing it was only at the age of eighteen that Grubb seriously began to consider what it meant to be a Christian. It was a conversation with a family friend that challenged him to think more deeply about his faith, and from that point on he became committed to

Christ liveth within me, and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave
Himself for me". This verse was to become central to his philosophy. The kernel of his Christian belief was

Fortunately the two were reconciled to one another when
Pauline came to accept Grubb's dedication to serving his God, even though it meant that she would have to take second place in her husband's life.

During his time as the
General Secretary of WEC, Grubb began writing. To begin with he produced tracts and magazines for the mission, and then in 1933 he published a biography of C.T. Studd:
