So, you have three possibilities in world missions. You can be a goer, a sender, or disobedient. The Bible does not assume that everyone goes. But it does assume that the ones who do not go care about goers and support goers and pray for goers and hold the rope of the goers.

Waiting for the Lord in a season of darkness should not be a time of inactivity. We should do what we can do. And doing is often God's appointed remedy for despair.
John Piper
Image

John Piper
Image
We will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.
John Piper
Image
The answer, The answer, my friend, is not yours to invent or create. It will be decided for you. It is outside you. It is real and objective and firm. One day you will hear it. You don’t create it. You don’t define it. It comes to you, and sooner or later you conform to it—or bow to it.

The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.
John Piper
Image
God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
John Piper
Image
May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.
