Know the Ropes
Rope is made of animal, vegetable or mineral fibers. The fibers are twisted inone direction into strands and then the strands are twisted the oppositedirection to make the rope. Sometimes fibers will be woven or braided intoropes of small diameter. Most of the time, rope is measured by the diameterin fractions or in millimeters. Marine applications will generally measure arope by circumference.

Store ropes in a cool, dry place.Keep the ropes clean and free of mud, grease, etc., as possible. Coiland uncoil ropes carefully to avoidkinks. Whip the ends of naturalropes or burn the ends of syntheticropes to prevent the ends fromunraveling. Be sure to inspect yourrope periodically. Replace wornspots in ropes by splicing. Carefullyevaluate replacing your ropes whensigns of wear, such as broken fibers,are apparent.

There are several important considerations to keep in mind when selecting arope. The material it is constructed from determines the properties andapplication of a rope. The construction of the rope is a key factor whenselecting a rope. Working loads are generally 10% (between 8% and 14%)of tensile strength of a rope. A knot will reduce the working load of a ropeup to 50%. Misuse of ropes could result in loss of load and possible seriousinjury. Be sure to know the capabilities and usages of your ropes. Consultthe rope manufacturer concerning characteristics and working conditionsfor the ropes that you will be using.
In 1793, as William Carey,considered the Father of the Modern Mission Movement, was making preparations to board a ship to India, he used the analogy that he felt he was being lowered into a dark well by a rope. He was not afraid as long as he knew that his faithful friend, Andrew Fuller,would hold onto the rope by praying and giving to support the mission work.This is not a task that can be accomplished alone.Will you remain faithful and hold onto the rope of missionaries by praying for and giving to missions? Have you ever sensed that God has been calling you to tie the rope around yourself and be on mission with Him? Pray and ask God to reveal to you how you are to respond to His invitation to join Him in accomplishing His mission.

Natural FibersNatural FibersNatural FibersNatural FibersNatural Fibers
Ropes have different strengths and uses.Christians also have different strengths and uses. Strands of fibers together make the rope strong. Christians serving together makes strength.Manila Rope 
ManilaManilaManilaManilaManila comes from theAbaca tree, is yellowishwith a silky feel and isconsidered the strongestand best natural ropematerial.
Sisal Rope 
SisalSisalSisalSisalSisal comes from the leaf of Agava plants and is oftenused as a substitute forManila. The fibers are stiff and rough with no silky feeland break easily.
 Jute Rope
