If God has called you to China or any other place and you are sure in your own heart, let nothing deter you. Remember, it is God who has called you and it is the same as when He called Moses or Samuel.

Reckless abandon for the Lord – Elisabeth Elliot
I have one desire now – to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.

Discipleship – Bill Hull
Discipleship isn’t a program or an event; it’s a way of life. It’s not for a limited time, but for our whole life. Discipleship isn’t for beginners alone; it’s for all believers for every day of their life. Discipleship isn’t just one of the things the church does; it is what the church does.

You are not called to be comfortable – Francis Chan
God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn’t come through.

The church does not draw people in; it sends them out.

Every Christian is to be effective – AB Simpson
God means every Christian to be effective, to make a difference in the actual records and results of Christian work. God put each of us here to be a power. There is not one of us but is an essential wheel of the machinery and can accomplish all that God calls us to.

Equipping the saints – Chuck Colson
The church’s job is to equip the saints for works of service in the world.

The Missionary Church – FB Meyer
The church which is not a missionary church will be a missing church when Jesus comes.

Canned Discipleship – Francis Chan
We reduce discipleship to a canned program, and so many in the church end up sidelined in a spectator mentality that delegates disciple making to pastors and professionals, ministers and missionaries.
