“In no other way can the believer become as fully involved with God’s work,
especially the work of world evangelism, as in intercessory prayer.”
Dick Eastman

“If the church would only awaken to her responsibility of intercession,
we could well evangelise the world in a short time.”
T.S. Hegre

“We can reach our world, if we will. The greatest lack today is not people
or funds. The greatest need is prayer.”
Wesley Duewel

“Prayer strikes the winning blow. All other missionary efforts simply gather
up the fruits of our praying.”
David Bryant

“God alone can choose the labourers and thrust them out, and this choosing
he does not delegate to man, or church, convocation, synod, association,
or conference. ..God is moved to this great work of calling men into the
ministry by prayer. Earthly fields are rotting. They are untilled because
prayer is silent.”
E.M. Bounds
