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.
