I’ve seen several links to this video in the past week so I thought I would repost it here…

Please pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. (Matthew 9:38)

Woe to the person who tries to be a half-Christian and never says from the heart: “I renounce everything for you, Lord Jesus. I am willing to go anywhere and do anything at any cost, if you will go with me and be my everlasting joy.”

This is why Jesus said, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. … Therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:26-27, 33)

The aim of missions is to bring about the obedience of faith among all the unreached peoples of the world. But that is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal —even of faith and obedience—is “for the sake of his name” (Romans 1:5). The fame of Christ, the reputation of Christ, is what burned in the heart of the apostle Paul. The faith of the nations was not an end in itself. It was the way that the name of Christ would be honored.
