Here's an interesting thought where our motivation for missions comes from. This is Tim Dearborn writing about our role in missions and fulfilling the Great Commission.
"Lack of interest in mission is not fundamentally caused by an absence of compassion or commitment, nor by lack of information or exhortation. And lack of interest in mission is not remedied by more shocking statistics, more gruesome stories or more emotionally manipulative commands to obedience. It is best remedied by intensifying peoples' passion for Christ, so that the passions of his heart become passions that propel our heart."
(p. 90, Perspectives on the World Christian Movement)
