Don’t Manufacture a Heart for Missions and Miss a Heart for Jesus

By David Platt

| Jun 21, 2019

Does the adventure and sacrifice of cross-cultural missions drive your desire to move overseas?

A heart that is for the nations must first spring from a heart that is for Jesus. The idea of sacrifice cannot be greater than your devotion to the One who sacrificed for you.

David Platt serves as pastor at McLean Bible Church in Washington, D.C. He is the founder and chairman of Radical. He is the author of several books, including Radical, Radical Together, Follow Me, Counter Culture, and Something Needs to Change.
