The history of missions is the history of answered prayer. It is the key to the whole mission problem. All human means are secondary.

The great Pioneer Missionaries all had 'inverted homesickness' this passion to call that country their home which was most in need of the Gospel. In this passion all other passions died; before this vision all other visions faded; this call drowned all other voices. They were the pioneers of the Kingdom, the forelopers of God, eager to cross the border-marches and discover new lands or win new-empires

I feel now, that Arabia could easily be evangelized within the next thirty years if it were not for the wicked selfishness of Christians.

The history of missions is the history of answered prayer.

The history of missions is the history of answered prayer. From Pentecost to the Haystack meeting in New England and from the days when Robert Morrison landed in China to the martyrdom of John and Betty Stam, prayer has been the source of power and the secret of spiritual triumph.

The unoccupied fields of the world must have their Calvary before they have their Pentecost.

Our only concern should be to keep the fight [for souls] aggressive and to win victory regardless of cost or sacrifice.
