A high view of God’s sovereignty fuels death-defying devotion to global missions. Maybe another way to put it, people, and more specifically pastors, who believe that God’s sovereign over all things will lead Christians to die for the sake of all peoples.
David Platt

God has made a way of salvation for the lost. Not a way, but the way. And this is the good news - the gospel.
David Platt
Image
We owe Christ to the world--to the least person and to the greatest person, to the richest person and to the poorest person, to the best person and to the worst person. We are in debt to the nations.

Ask, could my gifts, education, career, or experience be used to spread the gospel where it’s needed most?
David Platt
Image
Christianity does not begin with our pursuit of Christ, but with Christ’s pursuit of us.

David Platt
Image
Unreached peoples are unreached for a reason. They're hard, difficult, and dangerous to reach. All the easy ones are taken
David Platt
Image
Disciple making is not a call for others to come to us to hear the gospel but a command for us to go to others to share the gospel.

We have a master who deserves radical sacrifice.
