As the President has indicated, my life has been a life of travel - for 60 years constantly moving over the wide world on journeys which first and last have taken me to 83 countries, and, what is more significant, to most of them again and again.

It is possible for the most obscure person in a church, with a heart right toward God, to exercise as much power for the evangelization of the world, as it is for those who stand in the most prominent positions.

The missionary church is a praying church. The history of missions is a history of prayer. Everything vital to the success of the world's evangelization hinges on prayer. Are thousands of missionaries and tens of thousands of native workers needed? Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He send forth laborers into His harvest.

Prayer is the greatest force that we can wield. It is the greatest talent which God has granted us. He has given it to every Christian.

No other generation but ours can evangelize the present generation.

The GREATEST HINDRANCES to the evangelization of the world are those within the Church.

It is easy to magnify human personality and agencies. Prayer recognizes that God is the source of life and light and energy.
