BEST QUOTES “What's the worst place in the world  no one wants to go? What's the greatest physical need in that area that we can use to share the gospel?"

"The mission became bring the gospel and clean water to the entire nation of Liberia, border to border - every man, woman, and child - by 2020."

"This started because God chose to sovereignly move in the hearts and minds of young adults who still believed God could do great things."

"There are millions of more people that don't exist on any census data that need to hear the gospel and we don't even know they are there."

"We have to be experts at influence."

"There have to be borders around the projects we are doing."

"We should have Wilberforce moments happening daily around the world."

"I sat in my car and was reminded to pray to God to move away from the frenetic pace of my day and shift my mindset to the people in my house."

"It's not the job that's fun or not fun, it's how you are engaging in it."

"Are you just leaving to get away from these challenges? If so, stay a little longer."

"People are so busy trying to find happiness, they miss out on what joy is really about from a biblical perspective." RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network
