"You can give without loving.
But you cannot love without giving."
- Amy Carmichael
(missionary to India)

"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."
- Arthur T. Pierson

"'Go ye' is as much a part
of Christ's Gospel as 'Come unto Me.'
You are not even a Christian
until you have honestly
faced your responsibility
in regard to the carrying of the Gospel
to the ends of the earth."
- J. Stuart Holden

"If you found a cure for cancer,
wouldn't it be inconceivable to hide it
from the rest of mankind?
How much more inconceivable
to keep silent the cure
from the eternal wages of death."
- Dave Davidson

"The gospel is only good news
if it gets there in time"
- Carl F. H. Henry
