To belong to Jesus is to embrace the nations with Him.
William Carey

William Carey chides his countrymen for deciding it would be impossible for the Gospel to travel over great distances and to penetrate varied cultures when they are willing to face the same trials for the sake of commerce.
William Carey
Image
Add to this occasional journeys, ministers’ meetings, etc., and you will rather wonder that I have any time, than that I have so little. I am not my own, nor would I choose for myself. Let God employ me where he thinks fit, and give me patience and discretion to fill up my station to his honour and glory.
William Carey
Image
I will venture to go... but remember that you must hold the ropes.

I went to India as a missionary to save England from spiritual collapse.
William Carey
Image
Surely it is worthwhile to lay ourselves out with all our might in promoting the cause and kingdom of Christ.
William Carey
Image
...even on the low ground of common sense I seemed to be called to be a missionary. Is the kingdom a harvest field? Then I thought it reasonable that I should seek to work where the work was most abundant and the workers fewest.
William Carey
Image
Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.
William Carey
Image
We have only to keep the end in view, and have our hearts thoroughly engaged in the pursuit of it, and means will not be very difficult.
William Carey
Image
You have been saying much about Dr. Carey and his work. When I am gone, say nothing about Dr. Carey speak about Dr. Carey's Saviour.
William Carey
Image
Those who would be employed in propagating the Gospel should be familiar with the doctrines he is to combat and the doctrines he is to teach, and acquire a complete knowledge both of the Sacred Scriptures and of these philosophical and mythological dogmas which form the souls of the Buddhist and Hindu Systems.
William Carey
Image
A Christian minister is a person who in a peculiar sense is not his own he is the servant of God, and therefore ought to be wholly devoted to Him.
William Carey
Image
I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
