I love missionary biographies more than just about any story. A good missionary story pairs my love of missions and my love of history. I've been a biography junkie for a few years now. Here are some of my favorite quotes that pertain to missions.
"Missions is not the 'ministry of choice' for a few hyperactive Christians in the church. Missions is the purpose of the church." -Unknown
"People who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget that they too are expending their lives...and when the bubble has burst, they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted." -Nate Saint, missionary martyr
"If a commission by an earthly king is considered an honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?" -David Livingstone
"Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God." -William Carey who is called the father of modern missions
"'Go ye' is as much a part of Christ's Gospel as 'Come unto Me.' You are not even a Christian until you have honestly faced your responsibility in regard to the carrying of the Gospel to the ends of the earth." -J. Stuart Holden
I hope these inspire you too and cause you to think how you can carry the Gospel to your own mission field!
