Evangelism is the redistribution of spiritual wealth. ~ John Blanchard


In making a person a Christian, God takes a burden off the heart and places another on the shoulders. ~ Anonymous

Christian mission is the only reason for our being on earth. ~ Andrew Murray

The gospel is not a secret to be hoarded but a story to be heralded. ~ Vance Havner

Holy Writ is to be kept not under a bushel, but under men's noses. Its message is to be held forth as diligently as it is held fast. ~ J. I. Packer

If a church does not evangelize it will fossilize. ~ A. W. Pink

If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
