Something potentially historic happened last week as thousands of students gathered for the sake of the unreached peoples around the world. Hundreds stood on Monday night at the close of the first Cross conference to commit to returning to their local church to be sent out to see Jesus treasured where he is not.
We’ve collected some of the most powerful quotes from the ten plenary messages (along with some from John Piper’s breakout sessions). May these talks — and more importantly the word of God — inspire us all to think creatively and sacrificially about how to make our lives count for our God’s global glory.
John Piper: “The Chief End of Missions: The Supremacy of God in the Joy of All Peoples” (full message)
“There are a thousand needs in the world, and none of them compares to the global need for the gospel.”
“I am not a missionary, but I have wanted my life to count for the unreached peoples of the world.”

“If you remove enjoyment of God from faith in God, it ceases to be faith.”
“We will not let you choose between being a lover of God and his sovereignty and being a lover of lost people.”

Thabiti Anyabwile: “Beauty from Ashes: The Plight of Man and the Purposes of God”
