Hudson Taylor quotes about
requirements missionary three
There are three indispensable requirements for a missionary: 1. Patience 2. Patience 3. Patience.
prayer godly firsts
Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.
prayer moving men
When I get to China, I will have no claim on any one for anything. My claim will be alone in God and I must learn before I leave England to move men through God by prayer alone.
prayer thinking praying
When I cannot read, when I cannot think, when I cannot even pray, I can trust.
prayer disappointment grace
The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity...if we want to see might wonders of divine power and grace wrought in the place of weakness, failure and disappointment, let us answer God's standing challenge, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and might things which thou knowest not."
dream failing bigs
Dream a dream so big that unless God intervenes it will fail.
important never-forget forget
Let us never forget that what we are is more important than what we do.
spiritual prayer blessing
As a rule, prayer is answered and funds come in, but if we are kept waiting, the spiritual blessing that is the outcome is far more precious than exemption from the trial.
prayer men praying
I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.
faithful strive
But how to get faith strengthened? Not by striving after faith, but by resting on the Faithful One.
father shy littles
I myself, for instance, am not especially gifted, and am shy by nature, but my gracious and merciful God and Father inclined Himself to me, and when I was weak in faith He strengthened me while I was still young. He taught me in my helplessness to rest on Him, and to pray even about little things in which another might have felt able to help himself.

Brother, if you would enter that Province, you must go forward on your knees.
missionary christ lord
Christ is either Lord of all, or He is not Lord at all

Oh, for eloquence to plead the cause of China, for a pencil dipped in fire to paint the condition of this people.
