• For me, passion means whatever a person is willing to suffer for.'Apostolic passion,' therefore, is a deliberate, intentional choice to live for the worship of Jesus in the nations. It has to do with being committed to the point of death to spreading His glory. It's the quality of those who are on fire for Jesus, who dream of the whole earth being covered with the Glory of the Lord.

• Chain me with roaring bears;
  Or shut me nightly in a charnel-house,
  O'er-covered quite with dead men's rattling bones,
  With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls;
  Or bid me go into a new-made grave,
  And hide me with a dead man in his shroud;
  Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble;
  And I will do it without Fear or Doubt,
  To live an unstain'd Wife of my sweet Love.
