Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
The work of a true missionary is work indeed, often very monotonous, apparently not very successful, and carried on through great and varied but unceasing difficulties.
James Hudson Taylor
Solid, lasting missionary work is done on our knees.
James O. Fraser
From the London Times: "Tyson repeated his desire to do missionary work and said he had spoken to a Christian charity about aid work in Bosnia or Rwanda, 'somewhere where people are in dire need.'"
Mike Tyson
