Their eyes are dry, their sense of sin absent; nor is there any sign of penitence and contrition … But oh, if there were conviction! if they came with hearts bowed down, yea! broken and contrite, came with the cry of the guilt-laden soul … what converts they would be!
– Oswald J. Smith –
Do not imagine that you will be anymore spiritually effective on the mission field that you are in your own home town. Indeed, you will find it a thousand times more difficult.
– Ian Thomas –
God’s training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.
– Oswald Chambers –
A heart ready to melt at the sight of human suffering and need is necessary to successful soul-winning … Where there is no real soul-burden for sinners, there will be no revival. The early Church travailed in pain for the souls of dying men.
– JW Mahood –
Missionary work in foreign fields would soon cease to bring forth fruit if it would not have been for special revival seasons.
– Henry B. Roller –
A passion for missions is the result of a special conviction, a new inward work of the Holy Ghost.
– James Elder Cumming –
If I should die, I shall be able to say to the rising generation, God will surely visit you. A work is begun that will not end till the world be subdued to the Savior.
– Andrew Fuller –
The outpourings of the Spirit will bring about the work of conversion in a wonderful manner. They will result in the calling of new laborers who will be zealous to carry the gospel to the nations of the world.
– Charles L. Chaney –
The Birth of Missions in America
I am convinced that nothing less than a mighty Holy Ghost revival will awaken us to a sense of our great privilege and responsibility with regard to the missionary challenge and world evangelization.
