The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer.
William Carey

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
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.

It is the duty of those who are entrusted with the Gospel to endeavor to make it known among all nations.
William Carey
Image
Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.
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
Every Christian should live life with an open Bible and an open map.
William Carey
Image
I'm a dreamer and continue to dream of what can and will be, Expecting great things from God, Attempting great things for God

Is not the commission of our Lord still binding upon us? Can we not do more than now we are doing?
William Carey
Image
The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer and it is in this way, we have the greatest reason to suppose, that the glorious out-pouring of the Spirit, which we expect at last, will be bestowed.

I'm not afraid of failure I'm afraid of succeeding at things that don't matter.

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.
