When I get to China, I will have no claim on any one for anything. My claim will be alone in God and I must learn before I leave England to move men through God by prayer alone.

The missionary spirit is the spirit of Jesus, the spirit of the incarnation and the cross.

God is not looking for men of great faith, He is looking for common men to trust His great faithfulness.

Nothing can take the place of a real hunger for souls, or make up for the lack of it.

Power with God will be the gauge of real power with men.

All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reackoned on God being with them.

The hardest part of a missionary career is to maintain regular, prayerful Bible study. Satan will always find you something to do, when you ought to be occupied about that - if it is only arranging a window blind!
