David Sitton

 “…there is no meaningful risk for me as a carrier of the gospel of Christ.  If some tribal chief chops my head off, he’s doing me a favour.  Think about it.  If I get to (not have to)lay down my life in some remote jungle swamp, but God uses my death as an object lesson to turn their eyes to Christ and His name and the gospel gets to turn their eyes to Christ and His name and the gospel gets established among an unreached people group somewhere, that isn’t a bad “risk” for me.  I didn’t lose; I won!  It was the bargain of a lifetime because Jesus is worth a lot more than my little life.”

From RecklessAbandon, pg 22
