The Top Four Reasons Missionaries Succeed or Fail (Audio)

By Staff, Jul 24, 2018

Four key "gospel rooted" qualities are a valuable part of effective cross-cultural service. Come and learn how cultivating these qualities can help us make a positive impact on short- and long-term missions; or conversely, learn "how to be a horrible missionary in four simple steps."

This seminar was recorded live at the 2017 PCA Global Missions Conference in Dallas.
