Isobel Kuhn, missionary to China and Thailand:

"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!"

"For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure" Phil. 2:13

Luke 10:39

"He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."

romans 10:11-17

"Whoever 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 shall be saved.

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

Luke 14:33

"Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple"

2 Cor. 5:13

"Porque si estamos locos, es para Dios..."

Luke 12:27-34

"Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Ann Voskamp's

James 1:22

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."

Unknown:

"Missions is not the 'ministry of choice' for a few hyperactive Christians in the church. Missions is the purpose of the church."

Oswald J. Smith:

"We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first."

Nate Saint, missionary martyr:

"People who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget that they too are expending their lives ... and when the bubble has burst, they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted."

Oswald J. Smith:

"No one has the right to hear the gospel twice, while there remains someone who has not heard it once."

Amanda Berry Smith:

"To stay here and disobey God — I can't afford to take the consequence. I would rather go and obey God than to stay here and know that I disobeyed."

Pat Morley:

"If the Great Commission is true, our plans are not too big; they are too small."

Carl F. H. Henry:

"The gospel is only good news if it gets there in time."

Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf:

"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."

Hudson Taylor

"God isn't looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him."

C.T. Studd

"If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him."

Oswald J. Smith

"The mission of the church is missions"

William Borden

"If ten men are carrying a log — nine of them on the little end and one at the heavy end — and you want to help, which end will you lift on?" - as he reflected on the numbers of Christian workers in the U.S. as compared to those among unreached peoples in China

James Calvert

When James Calvert went out as a missionary to the cannibals of the Fiji Islands, the ship captain tried to turn him back, saying, "You will lose your life and the lives of those with you if you go among such savages." To that, Calvert replied, "We died before we came here."

John Piper

"Go, send, or disobey."

J. L. Ewen

"As long as there are millions destitute of the Word of God and knowledge of Jesus Christ, it will be impossible for me to devote time and energy to those who have both."

K.P. Yohannan, founder of Gospel for Asia Bible Society

"Believers who have the gospel keep mumbling it over and over to themselves. Meanwhile, millions who have never heard it once fall into the flames of eternal hell without ever hearing the salvation story."

George W. Peters

"God is a God of missions. He wills missions. He commands missions. He demands missions. He made missions possible through His Son. He made missions actual in sending the Holy Spirit."

Robert Savage, Latin American Mission

"The command has been to 'go,' but we have stayed — in body, gifts, prayer and influence. He has asked us to be witnesses unto the uttermost parts of the earth ... but 99% of Christians have kept puttering around in the homeland."
