Donald McGavran:

“Nothing hurts missions overseas so much as continuing methods, institutions, and policies which ought to bring men to Christ–but don’t; which ought to multiply churches–but don’t; which ought to improve society–but don’t. If it does not work to the glory of God and the extension of Christ’s church, throw it away and get something which does. As to methods, we are fiercely pragmatic–doctrine is entirely different.”
