A Mission Challenge WHY SHOULD ANYONE HEAR THE GOSPEL TWICE BEFORE EVERYONE HAS HEARD IT ONCE? Oswald J. Smith, People s Church, Toronto, Canada HE IS NO FOOL WHO GIVES WHAT HE CANNOT KEEP TO GAIN WHAT HE CANNOT LOSE! Jim Elliot IF SOMETHING IS NOT WORTH DYING FOR, IT IS NOT WORTH LIVING FOR! Elisabeth Elliot
A Passion for Souls Oh, for a passionate passion for souls; Oh, for a pity that yearns. Oh, for a love that loves unto death, Oh, for a fire that burns. Oh, for a pure prayer-power that prevails, That pours itself out for the lost-- Victorious prayer, in the Conqueror's Name, Oh, for a Pentecost. Amy Carmichael
