“Think of the awful fact nineteen hundred years after Jesus Christ died on the Cross “for the sins of the whole world,” hundreds of millions are still living and dying without ever having been told a word about it! Think of those vast solid areas…where the task of evangelization has not merely to be finished, but has at this late date yet to be begun! Think of a thousand tribal languages into which not a word of the Book of Life has yet been translated! Nor have the existing missionary forces more than barely touched the fringe of the total need in field after field that we call “occupied.” The huge proportions of the unfinished task of missions even in this advanced day are nothing less than staggering, and how anyone who has experienced the blessings of Christ’s salvation can view the situation without deep conviction and concern is beyond our understanding.”
-Robert Glover- (The Bible Basis of Missions 1946, pp. 193-194)
