Over the past few days, we have been participating in a missions conference. The speakers were great. Here are a few quotes that I was able to get written down.
From Dr. Joe Arthur I heard, "Little is much if God is in it, and God will get in it if you give Him what you’ve got."
I wrote down several quotes from Dr. Tommy Ashcraft, a missionary in Mexico. Here are some of his:
The only dream a Christian has a right to dream is to take the gospel to a hidden corner of the mission field.
Teens in Guatemala singing about taking the gospel to the world.
The average church member only gives $2.00 a week to missions. That won’t even buy a Happy Meal at McDonalds!
You have not given sacrificially until you give something you will not be able to replace.
We complain about waste in government, but if we use any dollar except to further the gospel, it is wasted.
What right do we have to ask a missionary to change his lifestyle in order to go to the mission field if we are not willing to change our lifestyle to send them?Dr. Mark Smith said,
The person sitting in your seat is the one who needs to surrender.
Our city is not unreachable. It is just unreached.I came away challenged, eager to share the gospel more and excited to be part of the work that God has left His people to do. I am both humbled and amazed that I get to be part of something that actually changes people's lives!
