I’m not sure if I quite have the creds or the water under the bridge to post this with authority, but here are a few quotes that gave me something to think about:
"Not called!" did you say? "Not heard the call," I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world.
-William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army
-Jim Elliot, missionary martyr in South America
The greatest missionary is the Bible in the mother tongue. It needs no furlough and is never considered a foreigner.
-William Cameron Townsend
It's amazing what can be accomplished if you don't worry about who gets the credit.
The more obstacles you have, the more opportunities there are for God to do something.
-Clarence W. Jones
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
