[edit] Quotations

[edit] E.M. Bounds

  • "The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men".
  • "Prayer is the easiest and the hardest of all things; the simplest and the sublimest; the weakest and the most powerful; its results lie outside the range of human possibilities….."
  • "Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world"

[edit] Corrie ten Boom

  • “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God”

[edit] Cambridge Seven

  • The message of the Cambridge Seven from 1885: 'God does not deal with you until you are wholly given up to Him, and then He will tell you what He would have you do.'"

[edit] Jim O. Fraser

  • Jim O Fraser, a pioneer missionary to China in the early 1900s:
  • “Work on our knees. I am feeling more and more that it is after all just the prayers of God’s people that call down blessing upon the work whether they are directly engaged in it or not. Paul may plant and Apollos water, but it is God who gives the increase, and this increase can be brought down from heaven by believing prayer whether offered in China or England. If this is so, then Christians at home can do as much for foreign missions as those actually on the field. I believe it will only be known on the last day how much has been accomplished in missionary work by the prayers of earnest believers at home...”

[edit] Jack Hayford

  • Prayer can change anything. The impossible doesn’t exist. His is the power. Ours is the prayer. Without Him, we cannot. Without us, He will not.

[edit] Dr. Oswald Smith

  • You must go or send a substitute.
  • If God wills the evangelization of the world, and you refuse to support missions, then you are op-posed to the will of God.
  • Attempt great things for God, expect great things from God.
  • Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice before every- one has heard it once?
  • Give according to your income lest God make your in-come according to your giving.
  • Now let me burn out for Christ.
  • The church which ceases to be evangelistic will soon cease to be evangelical.
  • This generation can only reach this generation.
  • The light that shines farthest shines brightest nearest home.
  • Not how much of my money will I give to God, but, how much of God's money will I keep for my-self.
  • The supreme task of the Church is the evangelization of the world.
  • He who would preach powerfully must pray effectively.

[edit] Rev. Erlo Stegen

  • Wherever God is at work, the devil is also there to do his dirty counter work. I’m of the opinion that the depth of God’s work can be measured by the amount of opposition encountered.

[edit] 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.
  • God does not deal with you until you are wholly given up to Him, and then He will tell you what He would have you do.
  • I'm more sure than ever, since coming to China, that the reason why so many Chistians get dead and cold is that they refuse to obey Paul's command to rejoice in the LORD always.

[edit] Priscalla Studd

  • Our cry goes up to God, "Lord Jesus, if salvation means anything to me, let me live among these people as if I believed in eternity, and let me show them that I'm willing to risk anything, my life if needs be, to rescue them from hell."

[edit] Hudson Taylor

  • When we work we work, when we pray God works.

[edit] Cameron Thompson

  • Heaven must be full of answers for which no one ever bothered to ask.

[edit] Charles Wesley

  • Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, And looks to God alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries it shall be done.
