What do they sacrifice, how do they measure their 'success', what keeps them awake at night?

Relax its to have fun-i will comment more later-every believer in Jesus is a missionary-some doin the job and some not-"Go to all the world and preach the gospel"-when you live in the joy of Jesus its your life
Joshua 1vs8 is commitment to the word-and read books on missionaries like hudson taylor called from england to the chinese-never saw a soul won-till he went against the home town and wore chinese clothes and lost his financial support but saw thousands saved-he slept better with no financial support and the joy of Jesus

The hearts desire of a missionary is to see many people lives been saved and changed. What probably keeps dedicated missionaries up at night is knowing that there are people out there who still need to know about God.

The hearts desire of a missionary is to spread the word of God and help others. My cousin was part of a missionary for her church (now she's thinking of becoming an ordained minister) and that's what she found out in her missionary work.

The missionaries that I know heart's desire is to reach (minister) to the lost. They would give their life to see just one person saved.

They're trying to save the souls of non-believers. They sacrifice a normal life and put themselves in dangerous situations to save others.

Their desire is to spread a sick and dysfunctional way of thinking to people who are usually much poorer than they are. So they use food and clothing donations to bribe these people and coerce them into listening to their fairy tales. They dangle basic necessities over the heads of the poor with the price of "conversion" attached. It is a technique used in brainwashing. Ultimately, they do it for their ego; they do it to feel important... It is pretty common for incredibly weak and dysfunctional people to look for other groups of people who are even more disadvantaged than they are to prey upon and control. It is kinda the same reason that so many of their leaders sleep with kids. Exploiting less fortunate people all in the name of Jesus!

They want to see souls saved, and needs met. They sacrifice comfort at home.

To do the Lord's work, win souls to Jesus, to be "Jesus with skin on," as a powerful woman of the Lord I use to know use to say.
Everywhere you are is a mission field.
