Quotes:
“If missions languish, it is because the whole life of godliness is feeble. The command to go everywhere and preach to everybody is not obeyed until the will is lost by self-surrender in the will of God. Living, praying, giving, and going will always be found together.”
A.T. Pierson
“The history of missions is a history of prayer. Everything vital to the success of the world’s evangelization hinges on prayer.”
John R. Mott
“You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.”
Amy Carmichael
“I do not know anything that would wake up Chicago better than for every man and woman here who loves Him to begin to talk about Him to their friends, and just to tell them what He has done for you. You have got a circle of friends. Go and tell them of Him.”
D.L. Moody
“If there be any one point in which the Christian church ought to keep its fervor at a white heat, it is concerning missions If there be anything about which we cannot tolerate luke-warmness, it is in the matter of sending the gospel to a dying world.”
Charles Spurgeon
