The world is our field...

"I have but one passion: It is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ." — Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf

How many?

"The mark of a great church is not its seating capacity, but its sending capacity." — Mike Stachura

Love and Give

"You can give without loving. But you cannot love without giving." — Amy Carmichael, missionary to India

Break my heart for what breaks Yours

"Let my heart be broken with the things that break God's heart" — Bob Pierce, World Vision founder

The Cure

"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

Character

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." ~James Wooden

Missions

"As long as there are millions destitute of the Word of God and knowledge of Jesus Christ, it will be impossible for me to devote my time and energy to those who have both."
- J.L. Ewen

Okay, so I agree and disagree with this quote. I love that it shows dedication to the spreading of the gospel. However, I think that serving the Church is also a great ministry. I think maybe he means that his calling is for the world though and that he cannot stay stagnant.

Sacrifices

"If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice could be too great for me to make for Him." - C.T. Studd
