Missionary Quotes

If you are ever inclined to pray for a missionary, do it at once, where ever you are. Perhaps he may be in great peril at that moment Picture Quote #1

Every missionary I know is extraordinarily ordinary. Everything they do, they do by the grace of God Picture Quote #1

We can all be more consistently involved in missionary work by replacing our fear with real faith Picture Quote #1

Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love. If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him Picture Quote #1

I really connect with those moments of doing missionary work down there and just seeing the people that are dying from disease and hunger and malnutrition Picture Quote #1

For one, I think as a missionary you gotta be stubborn. And you gotta try to be persuasive Picture Quote #1

I am surprised that I cannot recall whether my desire to become a minister transformed itself into a wish to lead the more militant life of missionary, by a slow process or suddenly Picture Quote #1

The missionary is no longer a man, a conscience. He is a corpse, in the hands of a confraternity, without family, without love, without any of the sentiments that are dear to us. Emasculated, in a sense, by his vow of chastity, he offers us the distressing spectacle of a man deformed and impotent or engaged in a stupid and useless struggle with the sacred needs of the flesh, a struggle which, seven times out of ten, leads him to sodomy, the gallows, or prison Picture Quote #1

It’s not that I don’t want to be a beauty, that I don’t yearn to be dripping with glamour. It’s just that I can’t see how any woman can find time to do to herself all the things that must apparently be done to make herself beautiful and, having once done them, how anyone without the strength of mind of a foreign missionary can keep up such a regime Picture Quote #1

Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not Picture Quote #1

I grew up going to a real small missionary baptist church. We would sing a lot of the old standards... the hymns and everything. Those songs are still my favorite and are pretty timeless Picture Quote #1

The printed page is a missionary that can go anywhere and do so at minimum cost. It enters closed lands and reaches all strata of society. It does not grow weary. It needs no furlough. It lives longer than any missionary. It never gets ill. It penetrates through the mind to the heart and conscience. It has and is producing results everywhere. It has often lain dormant yet retained its life and bloomed years later Picture Quote #1

Presidents, leaders, to be effective have to represent the whole to the parts and to the world outside. They may live in the centre but they must not be the centre. To reinforce the common sense they must be a constant teacher, ever travelling, ever talking, ever listening, the chief missionary of the common cause Picture Quote #1

Prayer is action. By it we step out in advance of all other results... Praying is an activity upon which all others depend. By prayer we establish a beachhead for the kingdom among peoples where it has never been before. Prayer strikes the winning blow. All other missionary efforts simply gather up the fruits of our praying Picture Quote #1

This command seems to me to be strictly a missionary injunction, and, as far as I can see, those to whom it was first delivered regarded it in that light, so that, apart altogether from choice and other lower reasons, my going forth is a matter of obedience to a plain command; and in place of seeking to assign a reason for going abroad, I would prefer to say that I have failed to discover any reason why I should stay at home Picture Quote #1

The biggest hindrance to the missionary task is self. Self that refuses to die. Self that refuses to sacrifice. Self that refuses to give. Self that refuses to go Picture Quote #1

Part of the heartache of all missionary work is the bright promising convert who turns out to be a mere puffball, crumbling like a macaroon under the least pressure Picture Quote #1

Hearing the missionary call has a great deal to do with what you are listening for Picture Quote #1

The least difficult thing a foreign missionary has to learn is the language; the part of her work which she has the most reason to dread is its responsibility Picture Quote #1

... even on the low ground of common sense I seemed to be called to be a missionary. Is the kingdom a harvest field? Then I thought it reasonable that I should seek to work where the work was most abundant and the workers fewest Picture Quote #1

This command seems to me to be strictly a missionary injunction; so that, apart altogether from choice and other lower reasons, my going forth is a matter of obedience to a plain command Picture Quote #1

The reason to get in touch with the culture is not to adopt it but to engage it for the same reasons a missionary does... to gain a hearing for the gospel Picture Quote #1

Does any sane man imagine that the church could cease to be missionary and remain the church? Picture Quote #1

If we can abandon our missionary zeal we have less chance of being eaten by cannibals Picture Quote #1

If you are ever inclined to pray for a missionary, do it at once, wherever you are Picture Quote #1

A way of spreading the dharma is just telling people, sharing with them your experiences. Never push it, never be a missionary. Be completely selfless; realize you’re only an instrument of eternity Picture Quote #1

The key to ministry in any and every context, both now and for the last two thousand years, is missionary flexibility Picture Quote #1

The technologist was the final guise of the white missionary, industrialization the last gospel of a dying race and living standards a substitute for a purpose in living Picture Quote #1

I can’t seem to fathom that the things important to me are not important to other people as well, and so I come off sounding like a missionary, someone whose job it is to convert rather than listen Picture Quote #1

Just because you’re in the missionary position don’t make you no missionary Picture Quote #1
