Quotes

"Already Africa is God's. God did not wait for me to bring Him. I found Him in every village." David Livingstone, 1857.

Could not the same be said for every corner of the world, from every mansion to tiny hovel, from the jungles to the alpine, from the poor to the rich? "The earth is the Lords and all it contains: The world, and those who dwell in it"(Psalm 24:1). How astonishing it is that God allows us to participate in the expansion of His kingdom!

"We can add nothing to the Gospel, for this is an eternal gift of God; but Christianity is always a beggar seeking food and drink, cover and shelter from the cultures it encounters in its never-ending journeys and wanderings"(John Mbiti).
