The Holy Spirit does not wait for all our cultural baggage to disappear before he can use us in a powerful way.

Dave Davidson

World missions was on God's

mind from the beginning.

John Piper

Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.

Samuel Zwemer

The history of missions is the history of answered prayer.

Nina Gunter

If you take missions out of the bible,

you won't have anything left but the covers.

Eleanor Roat

What's your dream and to what corner of the missions world will it take you?

Jason Mandryk

Real people need specific help yet, at a global strategic level, it's good research and information that will make mission possible. The Gospel cannot be reduced to an exercise in numbers- it's about relationships.

Matthew 19:29

And everyone who has left houses OR brothers OR sisters OR father Or mother OR children OR fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

Dave Davidson

In our lifetime, wouldn't it be sad if we spent more time washing dishes or swatting flies or mowing the yard or watching television than praying for world missions?

George Verwer

We seem to have a strange idea of Christian service. We will buy books, travel miles to hear a speaker on blessings, pay large sums to hear a group singing the latest Christian songs- but we forget that we are soldiers.

Stephen Tavani

There's much more to your salvation . . . Can you hear the Savior calling as He ascended through the air? Go forth into every nation. Take the message everywhere.

''Answer the Call" (lyrics)

Oswald Chambers

Missionary enterprise, to be Christian, must be based on the passion of obedience, not on the pathos of pity...Jesus Christ pays no attention whatever to our sentiment.  In the New Testament the emphasis is not on the needs of men, but on the command of Christ, "Go ye".

John Piper

There will be no big world vision

without a big God.

Ralph Winter

Most of all, think of missions as a cause, not a career. Concern yourself with the cause of missions, and your career will take care of itself.
