E. D. Burns. There are so many discouraging, frustrating, and downright miserable experiences unique to the missionary life, but the good news is that you can never improve upon God’s love for you, nor can you do anything to detract from His love for you. The Father delights in you as He does His own Son, who fulfilled all righteousness for you, fully, freely, and forever. Never will there be a day where the Father says to you, ‘I love you now more than ever.’ His love is immeasurable, eternal, and immutable. So, lead with all your might, steadfast in the Word, but rest with all your heart in the amazing grace of Jesus Christ. It is His work, from start to finish. He is the Leader and the Lord of the Great Commission. He is the true Missionary sent by God into the world.
This following list of missions leadership wisdom principles grows out of the reminder to rest in our union to Christ and in His work on our behalf.
