People who don’t believe in missions have not read the New Testament. Right from the beginning Jesus said the field is the world. The early church took Him at His word and went East, West, North and South. – J. Howard Edington

Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. — John Piper

We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first. – Oswald J. Smith
We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We’ve been “living in Laodicea “, lax, loose, lustful, and lazy.

Being an extrovert isn’t essential to EVANGELISM–obedience and love are. –Rebecca M. Pippert
It is now possible to live a “christian life†without doing the things that Jesus commanded us to do.

The average Christian doesn’t have to do it. –Cal Thomas
Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love. – Roland Allen
Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth. –John Wesley
“If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.†Spurgeon

Thanks to Guy Muse Missionary to Ecuador for the compilation of the above quotes on his blog.
I am a quote collector and maker. Recently I added to a quote that some one said :God’s delays in answering our prayers are not necessarily denials, they are often deferments until the time is right.”
I am also a published author and poet. would live to share some of my poems with you all, but don’t know how to send them through.
Pastor Jerry Howarth,Ret.
