"Do not underestimate these newly baptized Chinese Christians. The persecution they endure from their families and society is unimaginable to Westerners. When they are willing to renounce idols for the Lord and suffer rejection from their own people, this is irrefutable proof that God's grace reigns in their lives. The future revival of China will surely be undertaken by them."
"Translating supreme truth into the language of the common people is an extremely sacred and arduous task. We often debate and pray until late at night over the Chinese translation of a single word. Because we deeply understand that we are not only translating a book, but also digging a well of life for this vast nation, a wellspring of eternal truth."

"Do not grieve for my deteriorating health. For a Christian, death is merely a door, and on the other side lies the Lord we have longed for all our lives. I have received so much grace in my life to have accompanied the Chinese church on such a long journey. I am now like a child who has completed a long journey, eager to return to the Father's house and rest in His embrace."

"Among our fellow workers, clashes of personalities and disagreements are inevitable. These are also opportunities for God to refine our humility. True missionary spirit is not about arguing about who has more credit or whose methods are better, but about who is more willing to conceal themselves and who is more willing to silently endure humiliation for the sake of community unity. May we all shatter our egos in Christ."
"Life is like a boat sailing on a vast ocean, where stormy waves can arise at any time. If one does not anchor oneself with faith, sail with hope, and rudder with love, one will inevitably be overthrown by the waves of worldly desires."
