Quotes "What you say is more important than how you say it, but how you say it has never been more important." "God does not call everyone to leave home and go to the nations. I am convinced He is calling more than are going..." "God does not call all to be international or North American missionaries. However, He does call all to be fully engaged in the work of missions. He calls all of us to be Great Commission Christians." "We truly should pray not, 'Lord, should I go?' No, we should rather pray, 'Lord, why should I stay?!'"
