Sadhu Sundar Singh on 1920s America


There is a good deal of Christianity in America, but that is not enough... Our Lord's words, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," are true as regards the East, but... as for America our Lord would say, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy gold-laden and I will give you rest." (emphasis mine)


...missionaries from the West who come to India keep alive the churches at home, and if the West did not send us missionaries, very soon their churches would become dead like the Dead Sea. So we should welcome the missionaries for the sake of keeping Christianity alive in the West.
