Quotes edit see section history

  • “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.”
    Jim Elliot
  • “The past is gone, and I am glad, both for its going and for the way it went. God has led in, through, and out, by the best route possible, we may believe. I am particularly conscious of the Christian's right to expect events to be exactly timed for good. As for God, His was is perfect.”
    Jim Elliot
  • “Missionaries are very human folks, just doing what they are asked. Simply, a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt Somebody.”
    Jim Elliot
