God raises his own servant

Paul was chosen by the lord to proclaim the gospel to the Gentiles, and Paul set off on the mission of God without consulting others and got their support. This was not only the case for Paul, but true for all the missionaries.
No body could be his servant without God's calling. No body could be his servant without following God's instruction. It is God himself who raises his own servant, sends them on mission , and supports them along the way.
The Christian organizations and Christian churches in the world are usually independent and of small size. I used to wonder why these Christian organizations can not combine and build huge world wide organization, like Catholic and Mormon, so we can combine resource and do great things.
Reading Paul's words, I realized that God does not need these huge human organization, he does not need the man-made Tower of Babel which could reach the sky. God raises his own servant himself , sends them on mission himself , and supports them himself.
May God bless and use all of us, no matter the mission is big or small.
Bible verses,
But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him to reveal his Son to me so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles.
When this happened, I did not rush out to consult with any human being. Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to consult with those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away into Arabia, and later I returned to the city of Damascus. Galatians 1:15-17 NLT
