When the missionary work began with Paul, churches were opened, but with the

illness in the village.

This is the reason why there is no missionary heart.

We see something that should not be, it says that the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

missionary.

How to have a missionary heart:

1. If you want to have a missionary heart, follow

Christ.

Matthew 4:19

And he said to them: Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Following Christ guarantees us to have a missionary heart, this means,

that when I see a brother who does not go out to win souls or who does not like it
to testify is because he is not following Christ, because if he were doing so he would be
winning souls. Winning souls is not a gift, it is a responsibility that each
Cristiano has. Anyone who follows Christ will be a fisherman of
men, the key is to follow our Lord Jesus.

2. Set your eyes on things above.

Since then you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is
Christ seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on
the ones of the earth.

This point is very important; without it, the first one is of no use to us. We see a
important principle, if you want to have a missionary heart I must follow
Christ but I must also keep my gaze on the things above.

The heart longs for what the eye sees, if my eyes look at the things of God, my
the heart will long for the things of God, but if my eyes are set on the
things of the world, my heart will long for the things of the world. Know why
