"Sympathy is no substitute for action." -- David Livingstone, missionary to Africa
“If I preach the gospel, this is no reason for me to boast, for an obligation has been imposed on me, and woe to me if I do not preach it!” 1 Corinthians 9:16
“The concern for world evangelization is not something tacked on to a man’s personal Christianity, which he may take or leave as he chooses. It is rooted in the character of the God who has come to us in Christ Jesus. Thus, it can never be the province of a few enthusiasts, a sideline or a specialty of those who happen to have a bent that way. It is the distinctive mark of being a Christian.” — James S. Stewart
“People who don’t believe in missions have not read the New Testament. Right from the beginning Jesus said the field is the world. The early church took Him at His word and went East, West, North and South.” — J. Howard Edington
“Not, how much of my money will I give to God, but how much of God’s money will I keep for myself.” – John Wesley
“The best remedy for a sick church is to put it on a missionary diet.” – David Livingston
“Never pity missionaries; envy them. They are where the real action is — where life and death, sin and grace, Heaven and Hell converge.” — Robert C. Shannon, Christian Standard, January 1983
“The mark of a great church is not its seating capacity, but its sending capacity.” — Mike Stachura
“The church that does not evangelize will fossilize.” – Oswald J. Smith
“Only as the church fulfills her missionary obligation does she justify her existence.” – Unknown
“I believe that in each generation God has called enough men and women to evangelize all the yet unreached tribes of the earth. It is not God who does not call. It is man who will not respond!” — Isobel Kuhn, missionary to China and Thailand
“No reserves. No retreats. No regrets” — William Borden
“I have but one passion: It is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ.” — Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf
