We can’t properly minister to this dying world if we are yet to reconcile things with those dear to us, because the urgency of our mission also calls us to be a shining light that doesn’t hide in the darkness of this world.

Missions is not simply a duty, but it is a love-driven purpose. It is God’s love for us and our response to His love that will eventually lead us to have a heart for people.
