Thoughts on Missions by Sheldon Dibble emphasizes the profound responsibilities Christians bear in spreading the Gospel across the world. Dibble highlights the urgency of missionary work, underscoring the moral imperative to reach out to spiritually lost individuals and communities. His reflections emphasize the virtues of humility, dedication, and self-sacrifice, which he views as essential qualities for successful missions. Drawing from his own experiences and scripture, Dibble advocates for a deep sense of compassion, urging missionaries to approach their work with love and respect for those they seek to help. His writing stresses that true mission work requires not only physical effort but a genuine transformation of the heart, embodying the spirit of Christ. Dibble also highlights the importance of unity and collaboration among Christians, encouraging them to recognize their collective role in the fulfillment of the Great Commission. The text ultimately calls for a commitment to active engagement in spreading faith, presenting missionary work as both a spiritual duty and a powerful means of societal transformation, where service to others becomes a reflection of divine love.

Sheldon Dibble was born on January 26, 1809, in Skaneateles, New York, and became a prominent missionary in Hawaii. He is best known for his work in organizing one of the first books on Hawaiian history, which helped to preserve important cultural and historical knowledge about the islands. Dibble's mission was not only focused on spreading Christianity but also on encouraging intellectual development among the Hawaiian people. He inspired many students, especially at Lahainaluna High School, to engage in writing and research, thus contributing to the early documentation of Hawaiian history and culture. His efforts were instrumental in promoting education and literacy among the Hawaiian people during a period of cultural transition. Dibble's life was tragically short, as he died on January 22, 1845, at the age of 35, in Hawaii. His legacy, however, lives on through his contributions to Hawaiian history and the development of education in the islands.
