Fishers of Men

"The purpose of evangelism is not ultimately the happiness of men but for men to give God the obedience, glory, and adoration He deserves for who He is and what He has done for us through Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary... Our greatest desire is to preach the Gospel to every creature so the God's Name might be glorified among the nations and that His Word might be obeyed by those being saved by His grace." -Alfonzo Nunez, HeartCry missionary

"If you are eager for real joy, I am persuaded that no joy of growing wealthy, no joy of increasing knowledge, no joy of influence over your fellow creatures, no joy of any other sort, can ever compare with the rapture of saving a soul from death." -C.H.Spurgeon

"Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.' As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.' Immediately they left their nets and followed Him." -Mark 1:14-18

"Glory, glory, hear the everlasting throng,
Shout, "Hosanna!" while we boldly march along;
Faithful soldiers here below,
Only Jesus will we know;
Shouting, "Free Salvation!" over the world we go."
-Fanny Crosby
