How will they hear without a preacher?

Reading today in Romans chapters 9 through 11. For the Scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord …
