The mission of the church is missions.

Ministry
God’s Commission on Your Life – David Livingstone
If a commission by an earthly king is considered a honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?
– David Livingstone –
If You’re Called to Missions – Jordan Groom
If God calls you to be a missionary, don’t stoop to be a king.
– Jordan Groom –
God, Go With Me – David Livingstone
God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours.”
– David Livingstone –
Lead the Way – JD Drysdale
If I am concerned that my flock be men and women of prayer, then, as their pastor, I must lead the way; apathy in me will produce apathy in them. The church prayer meeting ought to be the best attended in the week, and if it is, success will follow the ministry of the Word at the weekends. I would rather a thousand times set men and women to pray than teach them to preach.
– JD Drysdale –
People Are Watching Your Life – George Swinnock
The course of thy life will speak more for thee than the discourse of thy lips.

DL Moody was a good preacher but a greater pray-er – RA Torrey
Out of a very intimate acquaintance with D.L. Moody, I wish to testify that he was a far greater pray-er than he was preacher. Time and time again, he was confronted by obstacles that seemed insurmountable, but he always knew the way to overcome all difficulties. He knew the way to bring to pass anything that needed to be brought to pass. He knew and believed in the deepest depths of his soul that nothing was too hard for the Lord, and that prayer could do anything that God could do.
– RA Torrey –
The test of who you really are – Fred Mitchell
What a man is on his knees before God in secret, that will he be before men: that much and no more.
– Fred Mitchell –
Evangelism and revival have this in common – Samuel Brengle
All great soul-winners have been men of much and mighty prayer, and all great revivals have been preceded and carried out by persevering, prevailing knee-work in the closet.
