"A missionary must be a man of God and not a child of man. He is a servant of Jesus Christ with whom he has settled terms of agreement with already. He knows no other master. If death overtakes him on the battlefield, he knows such to be a special mark of Christ's favor, who has thus honored and promoted him sooner than he had any right to expect. Too long we have been waiting for one another to begin! The time for waiting has past! War is declared! We will not build on the sand, but on the bedrock of the sayings of Christ. Should such men as us fear? Before the whole world, aye, before the sleepy, lukewarm, namby-pampy Christian world, we will dare to trust our God, we will venture our all for Him, we will live and we will die for Him, and we will do this with joy unspeakable in our hearts. And when we come to this position the battle is already won, and the end of the glorious campaign in sight. We will have the real Holiness of God and not the sickly stuff of talk and dainty words and pretty thoughts; we will have a Masculine Holiness, one of daring faith and works for Jesus Christ. The call of Christ is not to build and furnish comfortable chapels and churches in which to rock Christian professors to sleep by means of clever essays, sterotyped prayers and artistic musical performances, but to raise living churches of souls among the destitute. But this can only be accomplished by a red-hot, unconventional, holy ghost religion when neither man or traditions are worshiped or preached, but only Christ and Him crucified. Not to confess Christ by crosses, church steeples or altar cloths, but by reckless sacrifice and heroism in the foremost trenches. All God wants is a heart."- C.T. Studd, missionary to the former unevangelized Congo, Africa
