“God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on Him.” －Hudson Taylor

“God chose me because I was weak enough. God does not do His great works by large committees. He trains somebody to be quiet enough, and little enough, and then He uses him." －戴德生(Hudson Taylor)

“The power of prayer has never been tried to its full capacity. If we want to see mighty wonders of divine grace and power wrought in the place of weakness, failure, and disappointment, let the whole Church answer God’s standing challenge; “Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. (Jer 33:3)” –Hudson Taylor

“The power of prayer has never been tried to its full capacity in any church.
