"The special person called to do missionary work is every person who is a member of the church [body] of Christ. The call does not come to a chosen few. It is to every one of us."

"Our call is not to successful service but to faithfulness."

"The aim of the missionary is not to win the unbelieving, nor to be useful, but to do God's will. Missionaries do win the unbelieving, and they are useful, but that is not their aim; their aim is to do the will of their Lord."

"A missionary is one sent by Jesus Christ as He was sent by the Father."

"Missionaries are not sent by Jesus Christ to do medical work, educational work, industrial work; all that is part of the ordinary duty of life…Jesus Christ never sends His disciples to do these things, He sends His disciples to teach, to 'make disciples of all nations.'"
