"There's more missionary activity in the world today than there has ever been. But so much of it is smoke and mirrors. And that's always going to be the case to some degree because missions is hard."

"There's no fast way to do missions...The planting of a church is a miracle if it is done in 10 years."

"Missions is about preaching not an undefined, vague, general Christ, but a defined Christ, a Biblical Christ. The people who see truth as an absolute necessity are the ones doing missions well."
