Quotes: “Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak. Churches (and missionaries) that are not centered on the exaltation of the majesty and beauty of God will scarcely kindle a fervent desire to ‘declare his glory among the nations.’ (Psm 96:3)” John Piper

“ Every great work for God is first impossible, then difficult, then done.” Dr. Imad Shehadeh (Jordanian Christian and Professor)
