“We are inclined to think too much of ourselves and too little of our neighbor . . . . To accept and affirm the dignity of the other will nurture the image of God in them. To devalue that person or fail to show respect will contribute to a further distortion of the image of God in them.”
- Duane Elmer
“Missionaries must come to an even greater realization of the importance of culture in communicating Christ. In the final analysis, they can effectively communicate to the people of any given culture to the extent that they understand that culture.”
– David Hesselgrave
"Does it really matter how many die or how much money we spend in opening closed doors, and in occupying the different fields, if we really believe that missions are warfare and that the King’s glory is at stake? War always means blood and treasure. Our only concern should be to keep the fight aggressive and to win victory regardless of cost or sacrifice. The unoccupied fields of the world must have their Calvary before they have their Pentecost.”
– Missionary Samuel Zwemer (Missionary to the Muslims of Saudi Arabia)
Just a few quotes I found about missions on BSWE.org
BSWE (Biblical School of World Evangelism) is a missions school based out of First Baptist Church of Milford, OH.
Their goal is train warriors for the missionfield. It is not easy to leave your home and move away to another culture, language and people. But isn't our little discomfort worth it, if people come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ?
What are YOU doing for the cause of Christ???
