Yeah, David Platt spoke recently to a meeting of the Table 71 folks gathered here. Apparently, his message was so impassioned it had one missons leader contemplating if he should sell his house to be able to give more!?! “Sobering” and “challenging” were words that my own ministry leader used to describe the time. I just bought the book and hope to dig into it this weekend!
Sounds passionate all right! God be praised!
I’m hearing a lot of positive feedback on the book. Will definitely have to check it out.
